CHANNELS TV

The Caretaker Committee Chairman of Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State, Honourable Gbara Erelo, has called for the immediate and unconditional release of the kidnapped lecturer of the Kenule Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic in Bori, Abiye Ogan.
Honourable Erelo, who expressed shock at the news of the lecturer’s abduction, wondered why criminality should still be an option for some people, given the conscious efforts by the Rivers State Government to make life better for Rivers’ people.
He said that the Council would do everything possible to fish out criminals in the area.
In view of the unfortunate development, Honourable Erelo called on youths of the area to abstain from acts of criminality, as such actions would jeopardise their future.
The Khana CTC Chairman reminded the youths that they had a people-friendly Governor -Mr Nyesom Wike – and urged them to take advantage of the Governor’s offer of amnesty to militants and criminals who would lay down their arms and embrace peace.
He assured them that the Council was working assiduously to engage them into meaningful ventures as, according to him, an idle mind remains the devil’s workshop.

Honourable Erelo, while commending Governor Wike for the offer of amnesty to youths who willingly lay down their arms, guaranteed of the Council’s readiness to accept and reintegrate them into programmes that would give them better opportunities for a brighter future.
