Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, must take swift action to address the illegal dredging activities in Obogoro community. The dredging poses a significant threat to the safety and properties of residents, and the Governor's administration cannot afford to ignore this issue. The Governor should immediately dispatch officials to investigate the dredging activities and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
