Sen. Wilson Asinobi Ake has commiserated with the people of Ogbaland over the New Year day massacre which occurred at Omoku Town in Ogba/Egbema/ Ndoni Local Government of Rivers State.

Sen. Ake in a press release made available to newsmen said the attack against innocent citizens who were celebrating the coming of the New Year was barbaric, idiotic and the height of cowardice by criminal elements who do not want the Ogba race and the Ogba/ Egbema/ Ndoni local government to move forward.

Sen. Wilson Ake who represented the Rivers West Senatorial District from 2007 through 2015 regretted that the scourge of cultism has led to the death of active members of the population. He said it is time the security agencies in the state sit up and boldly tackle the issue of cultism, kidnapping and political assassination which has pervaded the state for long.

He urged the Rivers state government and other stakeholders in the state to avoid playing politics with the issue of insecurity in the state which he says is giving the state a bad reputation.

“Rivers State was once noted to be among the most peaceful states in the country. It is pathetic and disappointing that this once peaceful state has fallen into the clutches of violence and ultra insecurity. We owe it is a duty to condemn this scourge irrespective of our political leaning” he said.

Sen. Ake while sympathizing with the families of the departed prayed God Almighty to grant the departed peaceful rest. He also prayed that those who are left behind be granted the fortitude to bear the loss “It is a painful thing to lose loved once in such gruesome circumstance but I pray and believe that God Almighty will grant them peaceful rest while granting the bereaved the fortitude to bear the loss. But one thing is certain which is the fact that Ogbaland will rise again and this affliction will not come another time” The statement said.
