Police Shutdown Rivers Government House by Ridwan1821: 10:32am On Aug 17, 2016
– The Rivers state government house has been shut down by police officers purportedly acting on the orders of the Inspector General of police
– Efforts to reach the Rivers state commissioner for information, Tam George was unsuccessful as calls placed to his numbers were left unanswered

Reports reaching Naij.com says the Rivers state government house has been shut down by police officers purportedly acting on the orders of the Inspector General of police.
According to pictures made available to our reporter, several armed police men were seen outside the Rivers state government house just as another picture shows a police armored personnel carrier ramming into a Rivers state government vehicle, a Toyota Hilux.
Nwazuruahu Shield, PDP’s director online strategy who spoke with our reporter questioned the police decision to seal off the convention group and some roads in Port Harcourt.

“The fact is democracy is in danger, mosco road is sealed, government house is sealed, our convention ground is sealed, is it a wrong thing to have an opposition party in Nigeria? As I speak to you, Port Harcourt is under lock and key. Buhari and APC should leave us alone.
“The police are carrying out this order despite an earlier order mandating them to monitor this convention. I simply don’t understand,” he said.
Efforts to reach the Rivers state commissioner for information, Tam George was unsuccessful as calls placed to his numbers were left unanswered. Text message sent was also not replied as at press time.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian police have sealed the convention ground of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sharks Stadium in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, Naij.com can authoritatively report.
According to the police, it sealed off the convention ground after two courts of same jurisdiction gave two conflicting orders on the national convention of the PDP.

So it was this plan that the PBA of Lagos warned Buhari of.

Now we know better why virtually all the security outfits are headed by Fulani/Hausa.

I support the effort of the police to prevent the breakdown of law and order but any attempt to place the Rivers state governor under any form of arrest is condemnable and cannot be accepted.

Shutting down the Rivers state government house is not part of the Abuja FHC ruling that the police is supposed to enforce.
