Bayelsa State Governor, Henry Seriake Dickson, fielded questions from journalists on the recent killing of three soldiers by yet-to-be arrested gunmen and other contemporary issues in Bayelsa State recently. Excerpts of the interview:
There were reports that unknown gunmen attacked and killed three security personnel in Nembe and there were fighter jets flying overhead. As chief security officer of the state what exactly would you say is going on?
The incident you mentioned in Nembe is one incident too many. You recall that sometime last year in the same location there was this sort of attack where soldiers were murdered in cold blood while protecting our waterways and communities.
I would like to use this opportunity to offer my condolences to the military commanders, colleagues and families of the soldiers who were murdered in cold blood in Nembe. I would be summoning the traditional rulers in the area and the chairman of the council and after that I hope to have a critical meeting with other players in that area to discuss security.
