The problem
Rivers entered the Fourth Republic with entrenched cultism and militia activity in Port Harcourt and the riverine local government areas, tied to oil, land and political patronage.
What was done
The problem worsened over the term, with rival armed groups fighting openly by 2004 and the state becoming one of the centres of the wider Niger Delta insurgency.
