The Rivers state government has reacted to the sack of six police
officers attached to the state governor, Nyesom Wike, who were accused
of being used during the state's legislative rerun election held in
December last year. A statement released by the state commissioner for
Information, Austin Tam-George, says the dismissed officers committed no
crime other than helping to stop a planned assassination of Governor
Wike.
"These officers committed no crime, other than stopping a carefully
planned assassination attempt on the life of Governor Wike. The officers
are the latest victims of the medieval authoritarianism of the APC
government that seems to lurch blindly in the miasma of its own
incompetence. We urge Nigerians to demand the immediate reinstatement of
these officers, and for the Inspector General of Police to allow an
independent inquiry. The APC government has never hidden it’s
desperation to overrun Rivers State, colonise its people and loot the
treasury of the state, but the Rivers people have seen the face of the
Lord, and will spare no sacrifice as we resist the satanic agenda of the
APC government”the statement read
