Accuses NPF of blackmail

The rivers state government has denied reports that the Nigerian police recovered N111 million naira from INEC officials allegedly bribed by the state’s governor, Nyesom Wike, in the last rerun elections.

In a statement signed by Mr. Austin Tam west,the state commissioner for information, the RSG chided the police the Nigerian police for trying to ‘mislead’ the public.

The statement read;

The attention of the Rivers State Government has been drawn to the melodramatic images of heaps of cash, circulated in the media by the so-called police panel of inquiry into the re-run elections in Rivers State, on the 10th of December 2016.

According to the Police, the heaps of money were “evidence” of bribe allegedly given to officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), by the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, during the rerun polls.

We consider the allegations of the Police as shameful, defamatory and reckless in the extreme. Never in the annals of infamy have we seen a vital State security institution descend to the lowest depths of blackmail and criminality, as the Nigeria Police Force has done in this case.

A month ago, we alerted the world to the dark, Orwellian plot by the Nigeria Police to implicate governor Wike in a phoney bribe scandal. Now, the Police appears to be acting with shocking predictability, by making wild and completely groundless allegations against Wike.

The Rivers State Government challenges the Nigeria Police to show proof that Governor Wike financially induced any official of INEC. Does the Police have Bank records of the purported transactions between Governor Wike and the Electoral Officers? We challenge the Nigeria Police to move quickly to prosecute and imprison the so-called Electoral Officers on the basis of this dubious investigation.

We strongly believe that the police panel is part of a bitter, politically-driven smear campaign launched by the Federal Government against Governor Nyesom Wike, and the people of Rivers State.

We also believe that the Police is desperately seeking to divert attention from the disgraceful and criminal roles played by its officials, in the snatching and stuffing of ballot boxes during the December polls.

Rivers State will not succumb to the juvenile antics of the All Progressives Congress and its security surrogates.

So the APC have started controlling the police so much that they descend so low. How can the npf heap money on some tables n say its what they recovered from wike's bribery? Was there no sensible man in that office?

Would you believe someone who told you Abacha never stole any money?

Just because it's a PDP state, the whole federal government bodies will want to view everything slowly and possibly nail wike. So, nobody took or gave bribes in Edo and Ondo state elections?

All I see here is desperation to control an oil state by the FG.

The Nigerian Police is very stupid, even a kid will see through this their lame tale.
So Wike gave the EOs the money in cash, complete with bank straps? And the EOs kept the money that way waiting for the police to catch them. Nonsense
Comedy central!! Let me know when Muhammadu comes back, or not

im not interested in all these news, please when is this man coming back?

How can you use heap of cash as evidence? No evidence of bank transactions to show, no evidence of the payee of the cash to the account. No bank account statements to really know if such cash were actually in those account and if at all it was Deposited by Wike. All these things are easy to verify by ordinary citizens not to talk of security personnel. Nigeria police and APC will never change.

NPF can lie!
In as much am not a fan of Wike, I knw that NPF is not saying the truth as regard their FOOLISH EVIDENCE!
NPF SHOULD GO TO HELL!!!
