Some loyalists of Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike,
are being fingered in the violence and kidnappings in the
state.
This allegation was made by a group, Rivers Progressives
Front (RPF) which stated further that the governor’s boys
carrying out those attacks are some of those he employed
to perpetrate series of atrocities during the last
gubernatorial election in the state.

According to PM News, the group’s spokesperson, Elder
Tamuno Iyalla, informed that it is terribly concerned about
the trend of things that have almost totally disorganised
and dislocated social and economic life in the state.

“But more worrying is the emerging pieces of evidence
that the supporters of Gov. Wike are also those behind the
heightened state of violence and insecurity in Rivers State.
“On Thursday, some people were arrested by the police at
Ada-George Road with three AK-47 rifles and 300
ammunition given to them. Based on their confession, they
were given the arms by an official of Emohua Local
Government.

“As we make this gruesome development public in this
press release, Gov. Nyesom Wike is putting pressure on
the police to release the suspects,” a statement by the
group read.
The group is now pleading with the state’s commissioner
of police, Musa Kimo, to ensure that his men do not bow
to pressure from the governor, and make it sure they carry
out a thorough investigation on the matter so that the
culprits can be brought to book.
The statement read further: “We remind the commissioner
of police to realise that his reputation and office are being
endangered by the activities of criminals who enjoy the
support of Wike’s government officials.

“This is the time for the commissioner to bring to the
knowledge of all Rivers people and Nigerians that the
intractable violence and insecurity in Rivers State are all
induced and sustained by the present Rivers State
government officials, directly and indirectly.”
In a related development, the governor has been accused
by the state’s chapter of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) of carrying out retribution against persons, people,
relations or spouses of those perceived to have worked for
the Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi administration.

This is coming in the wake of the governor’s order that 14
permanent secretaries in the state, many of whom were
appointed by Amaechi, go into compulsory retirement.

the kidnapping rate is very high in the state but when amaechi was the governor of the state the crime was not that high as it is now. Wike realy needs to do something abt security issues in the state for people not to believe that his boys are behind all the crime that is happening there.
