Wike’s men behind the spate of violence, kidnapping in Rivers State - Iyalla

Rivers Progressives Front (RPF), said despite its initial circumspection, it has continued to receive credible information that most of the violence and kidnappings bedevilling Rivers State since Barr. Nyesom Wike became governor were allegedly perpetrated by Wike’s men especially from the bulk of those he deployed for the rigging, maiming and killings that characterised the April sham elections in Rivers State.

The RPF in a statement signed by its spokesman, Elder Tamuno Iyalla said it is terribly concerned about the trend of things that has almost totally disorganised and dislocated social and economic life in Rivers State, adding that more worrying is the emerging pieces of evidence that the supporters of Gov. Wike were also those behind the heightened state of violence and insecurity in Rivers State.


The statement noted that on Thursday, 19th November, 2015 some persons by the names Goodluck Wogbo 27yrs; Charles Nwaoepi 28yrs; and Goodnews Kejeh, 28yrs, all males, were arrested by the Police at Ada-George Road with 3 AK-47 automatic rifles and 300 ammunition given to them (as per their own confession) by an official of Emohua Local Government by the name Mr. Wisdom, the Chief Security Officer (CSO) to Emohua LG Council, who is an ally/agent of Chief Emeka Woke, the Chief of Staff (CoS) to Gov. Nyesom Wike.


Continuing the RPF said, “as we make this gruesome development public in this press release, Gov. Nyesom Wike is putting pressure on the Police to release the suspects.”


The RPF called on the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, CP Musa Kimo, to ensure that his men resist the pressure from Nyesom Wike and thoroughly investigate this matter and prosecute the suspects according to law.


RPF reminded the Commissioner of Police to realise that his reputation and office are being endangered by the activities of criminals who enjoy the support of Wike’s government officials.


“This is the time for the CP to bring to the knowledge of all Rivers people and Nigerians that the intractable violence and insecurity in Rivers State are all induced and sustained by the present Rivers State Government officials, directly and indirectly” the statement concluded.
