The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has joined other stakeholders to call on President Muhammadu Buhari to change the current service chiefs in order to end insurgency, banditry, and other violent crimes.
Governor Wike made the appeal on Friday during the Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration at the Government House Port Harcourt, after the traditional parade at the Isaac Boro Park.
He said the Federal Government must end the killings in the country in the shortest possible time, stressing that changing the service chiefs will allow for the introduction of new strategies to fight the insurgents and bandits.
He also urged the government to stop pretending and seek external help to effectively fight the insurgents.
Governor Wike equally restated his commitment to improving the welfare of legionnaires and families of fallen heroes and urged other governments in the country to do so.

<h2>The Chairman of the Kano State Anti-Corruption and Public Complaints Commission, <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/muhuyi-magaji/">Muhuyi Magaji</a>, has been suspended by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) amidst allegations of corrupt practices.</h2>
<p>The suspension follows a 10-count charge brought against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) on November 16, 2023.</p>
<p>In a statement released in Abuja, the Chief Press Secretary of the CCB, Veronica Kato, announced the suspension, highlighting the tribunal's intention to prevent Magaji from potentially influencing the course of his trial.</p>
<p>Kato said, <em>“Delivering the ruling, the Chairman CCT, Justice Danladi Umar, established that the Tribunal has the competence and jurisdiction to hear the case."</em></p>
<p>Justice Umar emphasised that it would be inappropriate for Magaji to continue discharging the duties of his office while facing trial.</p>
<p>He addded, <em>“Muhuyi Magaji cannot continue to discharge the duties and responsibilities of his office while facing trial, to avoid any interference with the case. Hence the suspension, this is pending the conclusion of the trial."</em></p>
<p>The case against Magaji has been adjourned to May 7th and 8th, 2024, for further hearings. It is expected that during these hearings, both the prosecution and defense will present their arguments and evidence before the Tribunal.</p>
