Why I Blocked SSS From Searching Judge’s Residence – Wike by abila122: 8:20pm On Oct 08, 2016

Governor Nyesom Wike has explained why he intervened early Saturday as the State Security Services laid siege on the home of a federal judge in Port Harcourt.
Operatives of the SSS launched an overnight assault on the residences of senior judges across the country between Friday and Saturday in search of evidence linking the judges to corruption.

Multiple sources said the clampdown began in Gombe State where the SSS arrested Muazu Pindiga who served on the elections tribunal in Rivers State.



The operation continued in Abuja on Friday night into early Saturday morning.

Mr. Wike arrived as the operation to arrest Justice Mohammed Liman, residing at Number 35 Forces Avenue in Port Harcourt, began, the governor’s spokesperson, Simeon Nwakaudu, said in a statement.

Mr. Wike was quoted as telling journalists that he would not allow the SSS and other security agencies perpetrate “needless impunity” in the state.He said if the security agencies had a lawful directive to implement, they must follow due process.

“Not under my watch will I allow this kind of impunity to take place,” the governor was quoted as saying. “That is why we are here. I don’t know which judge they were detailed to abduct. I didn’t bother myself to know which judge. All I am interested in is that, at this level, it is not allowed.”
“He is not a criminal and he is not an armed robber. If the person has committed an offence, invite him. It is only when he refuses to honour the invitation that you can adopt this commando style.”

Mr. Wike said he had been threatened by armed agents who wanted to attack him.

“The Commissioner of Police is here, the Director of DSS is here. Their operatives cocked their guns and threatened to shoot me. I have never seen that before. Again, this is to tell you what we are facing. We know that more will come. For us in this state, we shall continue to resist it,” he said.

Mr. Wike added: “It doesn’t matter what it will cost. When you talk about liberty, sacrifices must be made. We are not trying to stop an arrest. All we are saying is that things must be done decently and in line with the rule of law.

“Rivers State is under siege. For you to see a governor out at this time of the day, something is wrong. A siege is an understatement. If this type of thing happens next time, the people will resist it to the last.”

Is it only in River State that DSS is searching their house?
I don't blame him, he is a beneficiary of the corrupt system so why won't he protect them?
Its unfortunate for a sitting Governor to defend corrupt Official by blocking investigation and search ....

See this murderous,utterly corrupt criminal.
Mr governor u went there simply to prevent the DSS from arresting him without getting assurance from the judge that he wudnt sell u out and also possibly hide implicating evidence.
Anyway,i don't blame Wike,if the Fulani cattle rearer had started a sincere anticorruption sweep a longtime ago and has not been been selective,the types of Wike wud av been answering corruption charges instead of being governor.
But if Amaechi can be a minister without questions asked about his tenure,then Wike has every right to also carry over the impunity that pervades d land.
Nigeria is an unworkable contraption,too much impunity in the land.
