Bayelsa Govt Restores Calm In Peremabiri Community
Calm has returned to Peremabiri Community in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State following the intervention of the state government.
Some yet to be identified gunmen had attacked the community on Sunday for the second time in about a week, shooting sporadically and engaging in arson.
The residence of a known repentant militant leader was reportedly torched in the attack.
Governor Douye Diri, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Daniel Alabrah, on Monday, said the government has commenced investigation into the attack and would spare no effort to unravel those behind it.
He said he has directed the suspension of recognition of any chief or leader in the community pending the conclusion of investigation into the crisis.
Governor Diri urged the residents to be calm as he has equally directed the security agencies to ensure adequate protection for everyone in the community.
