The Nigeria Police Force, in collaboration with the Armed Forces and other security agencies, has intensified security operations in Rivers State following the declaration of a state of emergency by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on March 18, 2025.

A statement issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, A Olumuyiwa Adejobi and made available to ABN TV, noted that the declaration was necessitated by the prolonged political crisis in the state, which has spanned over 22 months and posed a significant threat to public order and national security.

Prior to the presidential directive, the Nigeria Police had been monitoring the situation, gathering intelligence, and coordinating efforts with other security agencies to mitigate potential risks. The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has now directed the immediate deployment of additional personnel and resources to Rivers State to bolster security, safeguard lives and property, and protect critical infrastructure.

The police emphasized the importance of maintaining law and order, urging residents to go about their daily activities without fear. However, they warned that any attempt to exploit the situation through unlawful gatherings, protests, or activities aimed at disrupting public peace would be met with the full force of the law.

Furthermore, the police reaffirmed that individuals with grievances have the legal right to seek redress through appropriate judicial channels. Citizens have also been encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities that may compromise public safety.

Security agencies have issued a strong warning to individuals or groups with criminal intentions, stressing that decisive action will be taken against any threat to peace and stability in Rivers State.

Rivers State is peaceful right now.
Those heating up the polity have gotten the unexpected shock of their lives.
Other local noise makers have cautioned themselves.
Sure, nobody will do anyhow,else,they see anything.

How this yoruba government took drastic actions on Rivers baffles the last of us.

They have remained unproactive since inception in all ramifications of leadership.

Economy is in comatose, inflation everywhere, insecurity all time high, unemployment still a big issue

The yoruba government seems ever highly interested in Rivers

It's really a pity for Nigeria
Herdsmen menace everywhere
Three Nigerian soldiers executed by iswap in yobe, no comment from the yoruba government of Tinubu.

The propaganda machines of the yoruba government is still in full force.. this istration is the worst of them all

Tinubu carried out a political coup in Rivers State. Let’s stop mincing words.

He byed the ballot, neutralized a sitting governor with Senate theatrics, and installed his stooge. Yet no one is calling it what it is — a cold, calculated hijack.

But let’s pause and ask:
If any part of Nigeria deserves a “special ,” it’s Nigeria itself — not Rivers State.

Let’s count the reasons:
• Since Tinubu took power, food prices have exploded beyond reach.
• Unemployment has worsened, real income is dead.
• Fuel prices have quadrupled, people now sleep at bus stops.
• Rent is up 4x, making even shacks a luxury.
• The naira has been butchered, while forex rates spin like a cursed roulette.
• Corruption? Tinubu has looked the other way. Worse — he’s empowered occultist enablers to enforce autocracy under the disguise of democracy.


Yet, the focus is on Rivers.
Rivers is the “problem”?

The hypocrisy is radioactive.
The whole federation is sick — but Tinubu wants to treat the only organ fighting back.

This is not governance. This is strategic sabotage.
And the people see it. A storm is brewing.

So you want them to blow up their own infrastructure to spite Tinubu that never live in River state and will never live for there, do you think they are mumu like a tribe that keep killing their people because they want referendum and up till now no referendum and their people just die for nothing

We know the real coward , we know someone that ked his people to their death in millions and later ran away like chicken , we know the people that someone was using Twitter to control their destiny every Monday and they are so coward that they dare not go out , we know a coward prime minister of social media country that when he was caught in his hide out he said he was just a content creator , we know a coward when he lost election that was crying on national TV, we know a coward because a powerful tinubu won't allow him to be Senate President was crying like a baby on senate ground. Killing your people or buring your infrastructure doesn't show you are strong but it shows that you are simply insane and a coward.
