The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has disclosed that the State Government will set up a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to ensure that those who killed PDP Khana collation agent, Dr Ferry Gberegbe, are prosecuted .
Speaking at the residence of the deceased, during a condolence visit in company of PDP leaders in the state, Wike also announced a N200million scholarship for the four children of the Late Dr Gberegbe, directing the widow of the deceased to open bank accounts for each of the four children.
“We will set up a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to ensure that the culprits are brought to Justice. It is unfortunate that F-SARS killed the PDP Collation Agent.
“The State Government will offer scholarship to the four young children left behind by the deceased. The Mother of the children should open dedicated account for each of the children. The State Government will pay N50million to each of the four children for their education.
“It is most unfortunate that the young man was shot dead by F-SARs led by Akin Fakorede in an attempt to cart away election results.
“Instead of us to allow people to choose who will represent and govern them, the security agencies will not allow that. Rather they prefer to kill us.
“He died in the course of the defending the PDP. He died in the course of defending democracy. I want to assure the family that all those who killed him will not go free”.
Wike stated that the State Government will also construct a house for the family of Late Dr Ferry Gberegbe and participate in his burial.
Father of the deceased, Mr Conduct Gberegbe said he was shocked by the killing of his son by F-SARS operatives. The retired police officer described the late academic as his hope and future.
