Rivers State Governor, Nyesom
Wike has banned the staging of the ‘RevolutionNow’ protest in the state.
Wike further directed all Local
Government chairmen in the state to report any suspected activity to the
authorities.
This was contained in a statement
issued by the Governor’s Special Assistant on Electronic Media, Simeon
Nwakaudu.
The protest, he tagged
“Revolution Now”, was planned to take place on Monday, August 5.
However, personnel of the
Department of State Services, DSS, arrested him in the early hours of Saturday.
Wike said, “Rivers State is not
part of the ‘Revolution Now’ protest and whatever illegal agenda it sought to
pursue.
“Rivers State does not subscribe
to what the ‘Revolution Now’ protest represents and Rivers State is not part of
the protest.”
The Governor ordered the security
agencies in Rivers to arrest and arraign for prosecution anybody who gets
involved in the protest.
