The Caretaker Chairman Of Southern Ijaw LGA, Hon. Lucky Okodeh, has called on all relevant security agencies in Bayelsa State to call to order the Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, Bayelsa State from breaching peace, law and order in the region.
The Chairman made the call in the early hours of Yesterday while addressing news men at Yenagoa.
The call is emerging from disturbing reports making rounds that the Tantita Security Services is patrolling with gunboats in the rivers in the LGA thereby exposing the residents to constant threat and danger, leaving many homeless already in a plight to escape any form of violence on them.
The Chairman requested a thorough investigation to address this security breach perpetuated by the above mentioned Oil and Gas Surveillance company and bring such perpetrators of the crime to book.
Hon. Okodeh alluded that a similar incident occurred before the gubernatorial elections on the 14th of September, 2023 where the Tantita Security Services invaded Okpotuwari, in the same local government area, caused mayhem, loss of lives, destruction, and fear.
It took the frantic efforts of the Chairman and his team to restore peace and tranquillity in the community.
Okodeh stated that as we speak there are reports and a very alarming situation where similar to previous experience of gunboats patrolling the rivers in the LGA and exposing her residents to threat and danger, leaving many homeless already.
The Chairman has reiterated that elections has come and gone, and he has a mandate to protect lives and properties in Southern Ijaw LGA and as such politicians plotting political vendetta should be reminded that nobody no matter how highly placed will be allowed to toil with the Peace existing in the LGA
We call once again for the security agencies to act swiftly and diligently to protect the lives and properties in Southern Ijaw.

Signed:
*Hon. Lucky Okodeh*
Chairman, Southern Ijaw LGA.
