Dakuku Peterside, the governorship candidate for All Progressive Congress, in Rivers state, has traced the rising cases of criminality in state to the lip service paid to security and the deliberate dismantling of an Isreali-trained anti-kidnapping and anti-riot outfit setup by former governor Rotimi Amaechi.

Peterside explained that security has deteriorated in the state due to lack of support for security agencies by Governor Nyesom Wike.
He alleged that the 60 security vehicles that Wike claimed his administration donated to the police and other security agencies in the state was farce and a photo trick claiming that so-called vehicles were line up for photo shoot for the cameras of journalists.
