Police beef up security as Sylva begins campaign

Security has been beefed up in Yenagoa and its environs as Governor Timipre Sylva of Bayelsa begins campaign on Saturday for the PDP governorship primaries scheduled for Nov.19.

The situation was noticed since Friday in Yenagoa, with check points at strategic locations.
Apart from the campaign, scheduled to hold at Samson Siasia Stadium, the check points surfaced following recent cult related killings in the state.
NAN reports that as early as 7 a.m., security operatives from the Police and the SSS had cordoned off the Sports Complex with Amoured Personnel Carriers (APC).
Heavy security presence was noticed at Kolokuma/Opokuma and Sagbama, headquarters of the Local Government Areas of the state.
ASP Eguaveon Emokpai, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), said the situation was part of the measures to contain the security challenges in the state.

Emokpai, who confirmed that policemen were drafted from neighbouring states, said: “We have mobile police units from other states to assist in beefing up the security. “

Welcome on board!!! Faith Irabor is just like your everyday girl next door with strong survival instincts. Am an International Journalist, Events planner and Blogger whose media journey dates back to June 2002 as a TV presenter with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Ile-Ife Osun State while I was having my National Diploma in Mass Communication. I left NTA in 2005 to pursue my B.SC in Mass Communication at the Olabisi Onabanjo University OOU Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State and finished in 2008 before joining one of Nigeria's best investigative Tabloids (National Enquirer Magazine & www.enquirermag.blogspot.com). I am very privileged to be trained by one of the industry's bests, my boss and mentor Mr. Tunde Moshood Jr, the former Editor of the defunct Fame Magazine, Publisher of National Enquirer and president Miss Global Nigeria who taught me everything I know in Journalism especially the investigative aspect which is the fulfilment of being a member of the Fourth Estate of Realm (as we journalists are usually officially addressed). My desire to take my journalism practice beyond the Newspaper & Magazine came from the passion I have derived over the years from investigative journalism as Online Media is the best platform to tell a story or news the very minute it’s at your disposal without wasting time. I promise to serve you nothing but exclusive and interesting news, interviews, events, articles from around the world and please feel free to email me on faith.irabor@faithirabor.com on spotted errors as well as ideas that would make me do better as there is no perfect being anywhere except God.
