[size=14pt]Ex-Gov Sylva, Aides On The Run  [/size]
Published on February 1, 2012 by

Speculations are rife in Yenagoa that Timipre Sylva, former Governor of Bayelsa State has fled the country to evade arrest by security agencies.

He lost his immunity after he and four other state governors were sacked last week by the Supreme Court.

P.M.NEWS gathered from various sources in Yenagoa that the former governor and his wife fled through Akwa Ibom through Cameroun to South Africa.

Sylva was said to be under security watch before he escaped.

P.M.NEWS also gathered that the Senior Special Adviser on Security to Sylva, Chief Prekeme Richard Kpodoh who was in charge of the defunct notorious security outfit, Famou Tangbe accused of extra-judicial killings, has escaped to Dubai.

Civil Society Organisations and families of the deceased had filed several petitions against Sylva’s administration on abuse of human rights.

Other former aides of the fleeing governor are also said to be on the run. They include: former Special Adviser Youth Affairs, Israel Igoli,f ormer Chief of Staff, Samuel Ogbuku,and others.

Our source who bumped into Kpodoh in an elevator in Dubai on Tuesday 31 January, said: “he was shocked to see me. He probably never expected to see someone like me in Dubai”.

Our contacts further revealed that Kpodoh may have fled the country by going through any of Nigeria’s porous borders but flew by Kenyan Airways to Dubai.

Although Kpodoh’s destination is unclear, there is the suspicion that he may be heading to India or any of the Asian countries.

Meanwhile, the Acting Governor has directed all political appointees to vacate all government guest houses within 48 hours.

Thursday is the expiration of the deadline.

No point in running there since we have an extradition treaty with S.A. Atleast i hope we do 

Sylva was said to be under security watch before he escaped.

Tha is Nigerian security watch for you.


Na the same people.

The only difference btw Jonathan and Sylva: Sylva refused to obey orders,

I am liking this governors being sacked , kings getting dethroned

Why not stay around and proof his innocence as he has being making noise and spending tax payers money indicriminately to suit himself.

Guess the crackhead learnt the hard way that you can't fight the Federal Government. Silly little junkie.

Discerning minds know that for fear of opening Pandora's box, there were no plans to arrest/prosecute Militant Timipre from the get-go.
The powers that be have only ever been interested in his removal, a singular objective that has now been achieved.

The guilty are afraid and runs when no one pursues them.

Just the way the Cookie Crumbles, power don change hand.

Same ol s'hit!! same smell.

Was Dubai not where Ibori first ran to b4 facing trial in London?

Prous borders,stupid securities

Did he flee disguised as a woman? Inquiring minds want to know.

How come the security agencies are so unproffessional People in detension just dissappear at will.

Bawss1:

Did he flee disguised as a woman? Inquiring minds want to know. 

The person who disguised as a woman, 'fled' the shores of the UK and not Nigeria.
The truth is; it would probably take some convincing to get a fugitive to disguise himself as a woman - just to flee Nigeria - when there is no compelling reason for doing  so.

^^^Well it's not beyond the realms of possibility that Sylvas boys noticed said operatives were having their break and cooling off at an Ishi-ewu joint with some bottles of chilled Gulder, hence they used that window of opportunity to give them the slip. That's my theory anyway.

He will soon be back!!no case for alarm

lol

What are they running away from. Abi na guilty conscience dey worry them.

What is my business with this news? . . . . .Gambari pa Fulani!

BEAF, get me one of those buses, i was told you have some of them.

Why disguise when you can walk in and walk out at will? It will only cost you twenty naira bribe naaa.

It seems there is a lingering cockroach in his cupboard. If he has a clear conscience, why is he running away frm home. He should summon courage, come bak home nd face trials cos he can't be on the run 4eva, abi shey him be MichaelScofield?

Atleast, he wasn't reported disguised as a woman as usual.

The law of Kama will catch up with them

nakedall:

I'm getting you some IQ instead, cos you desperately need it.

Even if he comes back, this government cannot do anything. What of Gbenga Daniel did the same thing by going abroad to secure his stolen loot and came back to face the law, knowing fully well that nothing go happen.
This Country can only be sanitized by having the poor, go after these people live to arrest them and their families. Most of them has property here.

"Unprofessional" indeed we know them to be. In this case, and if this report is factual, I feel they are merely 'cashing' in on their image of incompetence to give Sylva a 'soft landing' courtesy of a President who does not believe in punishing anyone even if their crime is genocide.

Those who did worse than Sylva , via treasonous conduct, to threaten the existence of Nigeria are walking around in Nigeria spending their loot and even enjoying political office (Aliero, Yuguda et al) so why will Sylva not manage to disappear 'miraculously' ? If indeed Sylva has escaped, then this is no more than the usual macabre dance and 419 our 'owners of Nigeria' leaders engage in.

sylva, no be you said you be oga
