Don Wanny: Wike offers N640m bounty on 32 cultists

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has declared 32 cultists wanted and placed a bounty of N20m each for information that could lead to their capture.
Wike revealed this in a state broadcast, where he implored security agencies to go after them.

The total reward is N640million, N440million more than what the governor offered for the arrest of Don Wani, the kidnap kingpin and cultist, linked with the killing of 23 people in Omoku on New Year’s Day.
Wani was killed by the military on Saturday at a hideout in Enugu.
According to Wike, 32 cultists remain in 12 local government areas in the state and had reneged on the terms of amnesty offered them by his government.
“Based on reliable information by the security agencies, I hereby direct them to immediately arrest and prosecute the under-mentioned persons who have either reneged on the terms of the amnesty and or refused to embrace same by continuing with cultism, kidnapping and armed robbery in the state.

“The Rivers State Government will pay N20 million to any person who volunteers useful information that would lead to the arrest and prosecution of any of the afore-mentioned persons. Since 2015, we have been calling for tackling security issues devoid of political considerations in Rivers State in order to achieve maximum result,” the Governor said.
