The Commissioner of Police, Rivers State Command 2013 - 2014

Anyone who is in position of obeying orders will understand what Mbu went through as CP Rivers State.

APC Government has sent him to career-gulag. since they can't find enough evidence to sack him (yet)

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

He thought he could come to Lagos to flex his muscles but his butt was handed to him.

This is Lagos..... not Rivers state.

Lagos sense.
