According to him, IPOB aim had been to disturb the peace of the state by unleashing violence and destruction on lives and property at will. The Rivers State Government, according to Wike, had severally pleaded, warned and even advised IPOB and its members to discontinue its insurrectional actions in Rivers State to no avail. Instead, IPOB unleashed another orgy of violence and destruction inflicted at Oyigbo Local Government Area and some parts of Port Harcourt City Local Government Area on Tuesday, 21st October 2020. Wike went on: “Today, IPOB continued with its devilish and destructive activities at Rumukwurushi, Iriebe and Oyigbo in open defiance of the State Government’s curfew on human movements. To this end, he warned that enough is enough as the government can no longer tolerate the menace of IPOB.
