The Rivers state Police command has released a statement regarding the alleged attack on Governor Rotimi Amaechi's convoy in Port Harcourt yesterday March 26. In the statement, the police said contrary to what was said by the Amaechi's Chief Press secretary, David Iyofor that political thugs loyal to the PDP attacked the governor's convoy, it was Governor Amaechi himself who orchestrated the gunshots fired at his convoy to gain public sympathy.
"The police wishes to react to the news that went viral on both normal and social media quoting David Iyofor, chief press secretary to Rivers state governor, to the effect that gunshots were fired at the convoy of his principal at Rumuolumeni, Obio/Akpor local government.
To put the records straight, after a successful and peaceful rally under the close watch of policemen led by the divisional police officer of the area, shots were indiscriminately fired from the convoy of the governor for reasons best known to them, as against the wispy claim of David Iyofor.
No shots were fired at the convoy of the governor. The false alarm, which is the usual penchant of the state government, may not be unconnected with the bogus claim of assassination attempt by his principal that is to just whip up public sympathy.
The command urges politicians to refrain from whipping sentiments by toying with security issues to create needless public panic, where there is none, please.” the statement read Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

This is a very irresponsible comment from the police. Remember when Late AIG Raphael Ige and Chief Chris Uba (Eselu Uga) led a team of Mobile Policemen and abducted the then Governor of Anambra State, the police said it was a lie. When pressure began to mount, Ige was retired and demoted to Commissioner, and was subsequently killed. Migeria Police, we know your antics. You guys will never change.
ReplyDeleteAPC and lies are like siamese twins...just forget about them.
ReplyDeletewhen the deputy Gov Ikuru said that APC is a party of deceit and propaganda, did you not know that he was speaking from an informed position?. This is a classic example and its vintage Amaechi and by extension APC where he is the director general. by the end of this election, they will know that propaganda and falsehood dont pay nor win election. the chicken is coming home to roast
ReplyDeleteHmmmm just like we are told that the attack on Buhari was a propaganda. Police and PDP are the worst lying partners
ReplyDeleteIt is unheard of in any society, no matter how crude, uncivilized they are, to hear that someone stage-manages his death to win public sympathy. When will our security outfits be matured in their operations?
ReplyDeleteHe died? Lol
