Governor Rotimi Amaechi was on Thursday evening returning from an inspection tour of projects in the state barred by gun-totting policemen who barricaded the entrance.
The Rivers state police command has explained the reason for barring the governor of the state from using the main entrance(Forces Avenue) to the Government House.
According to the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Angela Agabe (DSP), the entrance was blocked as a measure to prevent a breakdown of law and order after a splinter group of the Peoples’ Democratic Party in the state opened a secretariat on the same road. All roads leading to Forces Avenue were immediately closed.
The governor’s Chief of Staff, Tony Okocha had earlier led members of a faction of the PDP to open the secretariat at 38, Forces Avenue, Old GRA, Port Harcourt. The ‘secretariat’ was, however, later closed down by the police who were said to be acting on superior orders.
“You can’t do this. Not here. We will not allow it,” ordered the police deputy commissioner, Sam Ogaora, who reportedly led the police team.
“We will go all out to ensure that we maintain law and order in this state. Anybody that takes the law into his hands will be dealt with accordingly. That is exactly what we have done here. We don’t have any secretariat here and anybody who has come here to hoist any flag will be dealt with. Nothing more than that,” he said.
While explaining the closure, the state police PPRO says the governor could have made use of other entrances to the Government House seeing no reason for the ruckus being generated. “The governor has other routes to get to the Government House. So I don’t see how this should be an issue,” Agabe said.
Agabe is useless n α disgrace to the Nigerian police force for being used αs α political toy instead of its professional role of protecting lives n property in the state...fuck her n her orders from below!!!

ReplyDeleteSee a common policeman telling the Governor what he can do and what he can't. God help us remove Goodluck Jonathan before he single-handedly destroys the nations with crooked police officers.
