Ebonyi Governor, David Umahi on
Wednesday threatened to resist persistent arrests of some top government
officials by security agencies in the state.
Umahi said the development was
targeted at weakening his political structures and ambitions ahead of 2019
elections.
“If they come with 500 policemen,
we will raise over 5000 men to resist them,” he warned.
He made this known in Abakaliki
when he received the new Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of
zone 6, Calabar, AIG Tilli Abubakar who was on working visit to the state.
Umahi further condemned the
attitude of transferring cases from the state to Abuja.
“If not my relationship with the
IG, I would have taken police to court.
“How can police be coming to
Abuja to harass our people? So you have to send a word to them. We will not
entertain it.
“Otherwise, we will go to court
and try it and then we will see. We will not accept intimidation”, he stressed.
