Breakingnews: Dss Holds Gesila Khan, Rivers State Inec Rec Without Charge by WatchdogNews: 3:19pm On Jul 22, 2015
The DSS has continued in its (APC-backed?) crusade against public officials by arresting the Rivers State INEC REC. Sources reveal that Mrs. Gesila Khan, the Rivers State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), who was in charge during the Rivers State presidential and gubernatorial elections, has been arrested and unjustly detained. Friends and colleagues report she is currently being held against her will by the DSS. Reports reaching Watchdog News indicate that the commissioner was invited for an interview by the DSS yesterday but never left. Instead, it appears like the SSS has summarily detained her without notice.

Although charges are yet to be made, it appears that the commissioner’s arrest is likely to be in relation with the conduct of the Rivers State Presidential and Gubernatorial elections. A source revealed that the move is the first of many in a plan by the APC to upturn the electoral results of Rivers state.
“Backed by the APC, it appears the DSS is trying to intimidate the REC into swinging the tribunal decisions for the APC.”

Attempts to reach the DSS to ascertain the status of the commissioner, or get a clarification for the charges have been unsuccessful. The commissioner’s suspected arrest will also follows a series of arrests and surprise raids conducted by the DSS over the last seven days, which have led to several notable persons including the former NSA chairman and ex-CSO to former president Jonathan being detained.

It is unclear whether President Buhari, who is currently in the US, ordered her arrest or has been informed of the detention. However it is hard to see how the latter can be avoided, seeing as Rotimi Amaechi is currently travelling with the president as part of his entourage to the US. Former Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi is closely associated with President Buhari and campaigned hard for his election. Many political analysts have suggested that President Buhari owes a significant part of his victory to Amaechi.
