Yenagoa—Bayelsa State governor, Seriake Dickson, yesterday, expressed concern over the spate of kidnapping and criminality in parts of the state and restated his commitment to stem the unfortunate tide of events.

Accordingly, he said the government had finalized plans to unfold a comprehensive security framework to address the current trend of insecurity across the state.

The governor warned that anybody found culpable would  be dealt with in accordance with the criminal laws of the state and country.

A statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Daniel Iworiso-Markson, said people should not hastily ascribe motives behind the recent kidnappings, as the said act was considered and treated as a purely criminal one, pending the outcome of investigation into the matter.
