Rivers State Police
Commissioner, Joseph Mbu,
has been ordered to release
the detained suspected
armed thugs of George
Sekibo, a Senator; and Evans
Bipi, a member of the Rivers
State House of Assembly,
Daily Independent has
authoritatively gathered.
The release order, according
to findings, is coming from
President Goodluck
Jonathan’s wife, Patience.
Sekibo and Bipi are both
close political allies of the
First Lady.
The six suspected thugs
were arrested by the Joint
Military Task Force (JTF) in
Ogu (hometown of the two
politicians) in Rivers State.
The JTF later handed them
over to the police for
prosecution
But Mrs Jonathan was said to
have ordered Mbu to release
the suspects and return to
them the arms and
ammunition found in their
possession.
At press time last night, it
was not clear whether Mbu
had carried out the order or
not, but Bipi was said to be
to ensure the release of the
suspects.
Meanwhile, a crisis of
confidence seems to be
brewing between the JTF/
Army and the police in Rivers
State on how the story of the
arrest of the armed thugs
leaked to the media.
An online newspaper,
‘Saharareporters’, broke the
story.
Mbu was said to have
complained loudly that the
story must have been leaked
to the media by the Army/
JTF.
It was further gathered that
Mbu equally lamented that
the other security agencies,
namely Army, Navy, Air
Force and SSS, in the state
are not helping him and the
police in the fight against
Rivers State Governor,
Rotimi Amaechi.
According to a credible
source, who does not want
to be named, Mbu allegedly
cited the arrest and the
subsequent leakage of it to
the media as an example,
adding that if it was the
Rivers State Police Command
that made the arrest, the
media won’t have heard
about it.
However, a source within the
JTF/Army dismissed Mbu’s
claims and described them
as “ridiculous and
preposterous”.
The source maintained that
the Army do not get involved
in politics, and certainly do
not take sides in political
fights.
According to the source, who
also spoke to the on line
medium on conditions of
anonymity, “Mbu must be a
joker, if he expects the Army
to do otherwise.”
The source further stated
that Mbu should look inside
the police on how the story
got to the media, as it was
after the Army handed over
the suspects to the police for
prosecution that the story
went public.
It would be recalled that on
January 3, members of the
Joint Military Task Force (JTF)
arrested six youths, who the
military soon found out to be
armed thugs, around Ekporo
road on their way to Ogu in
the Ogu Bolo Local
Government area of Rivers
State.
They were in an off white
Land Rover jeep with
registration number JJ441BZ.
The thugs were arrested
based on their suspicious
movement.
Those arrested gave their
names as Sunday Elisha,
Uche Jenikachi, Ibinabo
Lawson, Okechukwu Okoro,
Jerry Tonyeand Daniel Ibito-
Anga (leader of the thugs).
In fact, Ibito-Anga parades
himself in Ogu Bolo as
Security Adviser/PA to both
Senator George Sekibo (who
represents Rivers East) and
Bipi, who had earlier
paraded himself as Speaker
of the Rivers State House of
Assembly until he was
stopped by an order of the
State High Court.
Both Sekibo and Bibi are
from Ogu and have
confessed publicly to be
close allies of Mrs. Jonathan,
who hails from nearby
Okrika.
They all speak the same
native Okrika dialect.
Bipi was also a domestic
aide of Mrs Jonathan before
he was elected into the
Rivers State House of
Assembly in 2011.
Sekibo, who nurses a
governorship ambition, is
hoping to ride into Rivers
State Government House on
the back of the First Lady.
All of them are also known
publicly to be fighting
Amaechi.
Recovered from the suspects
are seven AK47 assorted
riffles, 164 rounds of 7.62mm
special live ammunition, 10
live magazines and six
locally made cannon
launchers.
The JTF has confirmed the
arrest and the weapons
found on them.
After their arrest, the
suspects were taken by the
JTF team to Bori Camp, the
military base in Port
Harcourt.
The thugs were then handed
over to the police in Rivers
State for prosecution.
Already, there were
allegations that the
commissioner of police,
Mbuh, was brought to head
the state police command by
Mrs Jonathan.
Amaechi had recently raised
an alarm that arms,
ammunition and weapons
were being brought into the
state by politicians opposed
to his administration ahead
of the next general elections.
The Governor had
specifically alleged that the
arms being built up in the
state were to be used to
intimidate and perpetrate
violence against Rivers
people.
