The immediate past governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi has been accused by the family of the arrested Rivers State Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, Gesila Khan of masterminding her arrest bythe Department of State Services, DSS.

The family made the allegation in a statement on Tuesday in Yenagoa, which was signed by the family spokesperson, Okubama Johnbull.
It claimed that information at its disposal revealed that it was after Amaechi visited the Director-General of the DSS that Khan was arrested.

According to the family, “We, as a responsible family, know where this onslaught is coming from.

“We have it on good authority that it was the visit of the former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, to the DSS Director, that prompted the invitation of Mrs. Khan.”

While decrying the arrest, detention, harassment and intimidation of the REC over her role in the last elections in Rivers, the Khans alleged that the REC was being forced “to write an undertaking to turn the results of the Rivers State general elections in favour of the All Progressives Congress, the ruling party at the national level.”
The family wondered why the DSS would single her out for victimisation and intimidation when matters concerning the last general elections were being handled by election petition tribunals.

It went on to express concern that Khan “who is diagnosed of hypertension and diabetics,” had been denied her medication in detention, a development it claimed, was affecting her health.

The family urged President Muhammadu Buhari, to intervene and caution the DSS to allow due process and the rule of law to prevail in Khan’s travail.

It equally pleaded with human rights organisations and public-spirited individuals to come to her aide, insisting that Khan’s arrest and detention were unlawful.

Just in case it makes front page

Ok

Ptwwnnnn
Poshe
If you did not do the crime , you will do the time.

She brought woe upon herself by allowing Wike & patience Jonathan to use her as tool to disenfranchise d people of Rivers state

So, when she was taking 700 million naira bribe from PDP, she forgot that there is a possibility of power changing hands, right She never see anything yet

anamachi

Ameachi leave Rivers politics alone. You're no more needed here

This is why Nigerian politics would forever remain several years behind.
Party "X" is in power today and would use all the state machineries to frustrate/intimidate party "Y". Eventually when party "Y" gets to taste power , it would also wanna retaliate. And the circle continues.
Come to think of it , the DG DSS is still there in acting capacity and he has already moved against several high profile opposition members.
Now I believe more in the saying "absolute power corrupts absolutely"

Thank God it is not cancer as it is in the case of Diezani. We have Nigerian doctors who could handle her sicknesses. If she like make she no confess shap shap,she go tey for detention pass monkey.

Wike and Patience did worse than this by even humiliating Amaechi publicly, blocking his way to the government house...if I were Amaechi, by now, I should be doing worse than this


Return leg of any match is always brutal

Let her confess now parade don change

Ha ha. See the same DSS that was villified for being pro-PDP. They have same officers only the DG was changed. Are we still calling for scrapping of DSS again? I guess they have become fully professional now?
