Police Seals Council Secretariats In Rivers State, Bars Wike's Chairmen by Ndlistic(m): 10:07pm On Jul 10, 2015
DAILY POST gathered that the police
may be acting on a perceived
information that some groups who
were not favoured by the Federal
High Court ruling may invade the
council secretariats in protest.
A Federal High Court in Port Harcourt,
had ordered the cancellation of the
local government elections
conducted in Rivers State few days to
the expiration of the tenure of former
Governor, Rotimi Ameachi’s.
Justice Lambo Akanbi, in his ruling,
berated the former administration of
Rotimi Amaechi for conducting the
local council elections despite his
order that all parties should maintain
status quo and leave the rest.
Justice Akanbi also accused the
immediate past government of
“flagrant disobedience of court
processes.
In a swift reaction to annulment, the
Rivers state House of Assembly,
based on a request from Governor,
Nyesom Wike immediately screened
and confirmed Caretaker Committee
members to manage the affairs of the
22 Local councils, all of whom are
members of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP in the state.
Reports reaching DAILY POST
however has it that the police have
been drafted to all the council
secretariats, stopping the newly
sworn-in CTC members and the
removed Chairmen from gaining entry
into the councils.
Meanwhile, the National leadership of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
has requested that the council be
reopened.
The party described as
“unconstitutional, reprehensible
abuse of power and brazen show of
partisanship, the action of the APC-
led federal government controlled
police in barring caretaker
committees lawfully appointed by the
state government from taking charge
of the councils.”
PDP National Publicity Secretary,
Chief Olisa Metuh in a statement on
Friday said the action of the police
“is an affront to the
ruling of the High Court, which
Thursday dissolved the 22 local
government councils unlawfully
imposed by the immediate past
administration in the state, upon
which the
caretaker committees were appointed
by Governor Nyesom Wike.”
The party said “it was curious that
the police allowed the dissolution of
local government councils and
appointment of caretaker committees
in APC controlled
Plateau and Kaduna states, even
when they were without the orders of
the court but elected to clamp down
on that of Rivers State, which came
as a result of judicial
pronouncement.”
The former ruling party, now
opposition party charged the
Inspector General of Police to come
out clean on the matter and assure
Nigerians of the non-partisanship of
the Police Force by ordering the
immediate unsealing of the councils.

The party said Nigerians and the
international community should note
the development, which “is a yet
another clear indication that the
Nigerian police may have
become a partisan and compromised
instrument in the hands of the APC
federal government to destabilize
PDP controlled states,” Metuh said.
