POLICE SILENT AS THUGS UNLEASH VIOLENCE ON RIVERS COUNCIL SECRETARIATS

The Rivers State Police Command has remained silent amid sudden violence that erupted at several local government council secretariats on Monday morning.

Suspected “political thugs” believed to be supporters of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, attacked the Obio/Akpor, Ikwerre, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, Eleme, and Emohua local government council secretariats on Monday morning, barely 24 hours after Governor Sim Fubara swore in newly elected LG chairmen.

The attackers reportedly barricaded the council entrances and fired shots indiscriminately.

These actions are allegedly aimed at preventing the newly elected LG chairmen from resuming in their offices.

On Monday, the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, ordered the immediate withdrawal of Police personnel from the 23 Rivers State LG secretariats after over three months of deployment.

In Bori, Khana LGA, a gunfight broke out after armed men opened fire on members of a political party, leading to an exchange of fire between the attackers and the Police.

Reports also indicate that the Bori Police Division recovered the body of a civilian who was fatally shot during the confrontation.

In Eleme, arsonists set fire to the local council in an effort to prevent the newly elected chairman from taking office.

Similarly, heavy gunfire was reported in Obio/Akpor LGA, where assailants sought to disrupt the inauguration of councilors by the local government chairman.

Also, a viral video obtained by DAILY POST showed the Ikwerre LG secretariat engulfed in flames, while in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, plastic chairs were scattered at the secretariat’s entrance following further disruptions by the alleged political thugs.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that three people have been killed in the chaos across Obio/Akpor, Khana, and Ahoada East LGAs.

Despite numerous calls for action, the state police command has yet to comment on the situation or take decisive steps to restore order and security at the affected secretariats.

    TRAVELLERS HAIL PETER OBI, CALL HIM “OUR PRESIDENT” AS HE CLEARS TRAFFIC IN KOGI According to an eyewitness, there had been a road block caused by angry trailer drivers and this caused traffic that extended severai miles. A police officer had allegedly shot the tyre of one of the trailers and the trailer driver, alongside his colleagues, allegedly revolted and blocked the road, refusing to move for other vehicles. Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the last general elections, was in the area and he left his car to plead with the trailer drivers. The driver whose tyre was destroyed reportedly let go off his anger and posed for a selfie with Obi. Other tanker drivers cleared the road and thus allowing for free movement of vehicles. Nigerians who spoke at the scene were seen hailing Peter Obi, calling him “our president” in videos shared online.

    CONSTITUENTS MOVE TO RECALL HOUSE OF REPS MEMBER, UGOCHINYERE, LAUD GOV UZODINMA

    CONSTITUENTS MOVE TO RECALL HOUSE OF REPS MEMBER, UGOCHINYERE, LAUD GOV UZODINMA Community and political stakeholders of Ideato Federal Constituency in Imo State, have express dissatisfaction with the incumbent member representing the constituency in the National Assembly, Hon. Ugochinyere Micheal Ikeagwonu. They accused the lawmaker of being indifferent to the constituency’s plight, choosing instead, to focus on personal political interests and unwarranted attacks on the the state governor, Hope Uzodinma During a reception organized by the people to appreciate the governor’s intervention in addressing a severe erosion menace that threatened to disconnect the federal constituency from the rest of the state, a motion was moved for the recall of Hon. Ikeagwonu. Hon. Okechukwu Udenze, the representative for Ideato North in the Imo State House of Assembly, moved the motion for the recall of the federal legislator, which received overwhelming support from the people and political leaders in attendance. The constituency and its leaders lauded Governor Uzodinma for his swift action in awarding the project for the control of the erosion to Craneburg, a renowned construction company, and ensuring that work commenced without delay. They noted that despite the constituency having previously produced a governor, a senator, and numerous federal lawmakers, it was under Uzodinma’s administration that a meaningful intervention was made to address the long-standing erosion crisis. The Ideato South Council of Traditional Rulers, led by their chairman, Eze Ewuzie, received the governor and expressed gratitude on behalf of the people. In their speeches, stakeholders emphasized the governor’s selflessness and commitment to the welfare of the people, pointing out that he has no political agenda since he is not running for any office at present. The move, they said, demonstrated Uzodinma’s dedication to good governance and fair leadership, untainted by political motives. Among the dignitaries present at the event were Hon. Ijeoma Arodiogbu, the Southeast chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC); Hon Ikechukwu Umeh, Imo APC Organizing Secretary, Hon. Nkechi Ugwu, the Commissioner for Women Affairs; the executive chairmen of Ideato North and South, Hon. Chinonso Okparaeke and Hon. Okechukwu Okwara; as well as vice chairmen and the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) chairmen of Ideato North and South. The ceremony concluded with a call for greater unity among the people of Ideato Federal Constituency as they work together to ensure the continued progress and development of the area, with leaders urging all to remain committed to the task of rebuilding and advancing the constituency.
