The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, on Thursday in Abuja inaugurated a joint investigative panel on the Dec. 10 legislative re-run elections in Rivers, with one of the tasks being to probe the phone call between Governor Nyesom Wike and some electoral officials.

The 15-man panel, headed by DCP Damien Okoro, consists of officers of the police and the Department of State Services (DSS) with investigative, forensic and technical expertise.“The panel which is to conduct its investigation in conjunction with a team from the Department of States Services (DSS) has the following terms of reference:

“One, Conduct a thorough investigation into the role of security agents before, during and after the election;

“Two, examine the role of any police officer or security agent whose actions or activities individually or collectively was detrimental to the good conduct of the elections;

“Three, conduct a forensic analysis on the audio report released by Sahara Reporters as it concerns the election.

“ Four, examine any other matter that is relevant to the conduct of the elections, and make recommendations and implementation strategies to guide future elections.’’

He also charged the panel to probe the violence that marred the exercise in which two police officers were gruesomely murdered.

He noted that the 1999 Constitution and other relevant laws empowered the police to conduct investigations into criminal matters across the entire country.

The I-G gave the committee 30 days with effect from Dec. 17 to submit its findings.

Idris said that four suspects had so far been arrested in connection with the murder of two officers, while two rifles had been recovered.

The IG said that the police was an apolitical organisation that must not get involved in politics, adding that its interest was to ensure hitch-free elections.

He solicited the support and cooperation of all well-meaning Nigerians, especially INEC and the Rivers State Government, to enable the panel succeed in its assignment.

Responding, Okoro, thanked the I-G for the confidence reposed in the committee, adding that they will be guided by relevant extant laws in the discharge of the assignment.

At least.Jonathan was bringing them to book

You will know them by their comment.
" too many people"
"too many committee" etc..

yes if u dnt know, the committee has to be much so that the when some people try to bribe them, they won't be able to bribe all, and when they try to kill, they won't be able to kill all.

Wike the hypocrite should be investigated and if found wanting should be jailed after his tenure as a governor. I believe that tape because of Wike antecedence in election fraud. We are watching in 6D !!!

Mayydayy:

At least.Jonathan was bringing them to book

Good

Is only in Nigeria dt the security agency will not investigate case that they have a video tape as an evidence but will go ahead to investigate a case that they have audio evidence, in this modernized world of Technology (computer) gurus.
I pity this nation. By 2019 we will be 10years behind Gambia.

lol

Nice one

HOW WILL THE NIGER DELTA REPUBLIC BE GOVERNED

while we have the Akpabio's and the Donald Duke, and the Ameachi...
they all are a far cry when you mention the other team consisting of Alamisighe, James Ibori, looter Governors, Wine ... with Tompolo, Asari dokubov etc constituting their cabinets and running the town..

DO YOU THINK ND HAS THE TECNOCRATS TO MOVE THE SYSTEM

Waste of time. They should first probe saint Amaechi & the rest of the evil APC team. Useless government who can't focus on good governance but will rather spend all their tenure fighting their political enemies.

Going by that tape, legally, Wike is guilty of threats. He obviously gave 'something' to cordinators, then again, not INEC cordinators, he could argue because the audio mentioned cordinators, a couple of them from plateau. So, Panel will have to deal with what punishment is justifiable for 'threats to life of cordinators" if they dont return what they were given.

Looks like security was too tight for them to influence the election, that is why Wike wants the 'something' returned. This is circumstantial evidence that Wike 'attempted' to rig election, with reference to the episode on tape.
