He vowed that the perpetrators would not go unpunished, urging the people of Rivers to remain calm while the government investigates.
“We are carrying a basket of precious eggs, and we must handle it with care and wisdom,” Fubara said, urging the people to prioritize peace over conflict. He emphasized that engaging in violence would only lead to further losses for the state.
