The Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Bala Mustapha, has ordered the immediate unsealing of the secretariats of the 23 local government areas in the state.

This follows a directive from the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.

In a statement released on Monday by the spokesperson for the State Police Command, Grace Iringe-Koko, the decision was said to be in compliance with the IGP’s orders.

The unsealing of the secretariats comes just 24 hours after Governor Siminalayi Fubara swore in the newly elected chairmen who emerged from Saturday’s local government elections.

It is worth recalling that the police had sealed the 23 LGA headquarters in July amidst the crisis that followed the controversial tenure extension of the former chairmen.

The facilities were manned by police personnel during that period.

The command emphasised that this latest decision aligns with the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to neutrality and the smooth functioning of democratic institutions.

The statement read, “In light of recent political developments in Rivers State, the newly deployed Commissioner of Police, CP Bala Mustapha, conveys the directives of the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, for the immediate withdrawal of all police personnel previously stationed to secure the Local Government Secretariats.

“This decision reaffirms the Nigeria Police Force’s stance on neutrality and its dedication to ensuring the uninterrupted operation of democratic institutions.

“Police personnel will only be redeployed in the event of any crisis or breakdown of law and order. In such cases, emergency measures will be swiftly implemented to restore normalcy.

“The Rivers State Police Command assures the public of its commitment to maintaining peace and order throughout the state and will continue to act professionally. We urge residents and stakeholders to remain calm and law-abiding as the situation unfolds.”

Season films...wahala

Wike would have used the police to disrupt election if they allowed it in Rivers. And the way Sim was praising Tinubu recently.
Hand of Isau, voice of Timothy abi how ona deh talk am? They used Sim network to install APP that demolish WIKED structures

Shege to wike

I just can't imagine the level of pain and shame Wike will be going through right now.

He was quietly dealt and demolished by SIM.

Fubara 100 and wike 0

Lagos is the next bustop

Good to hear

They will still use court against d govnor.. Useless country..

He get choice?

Useless Apc ig

The Empire has collapsed , Emperor wicked Wike in the mud

The state capture failed , Wike has been demystified. Heaven will not fall

Lost battle

This whole thing is just so confusing!! Its is starting to look like Tinubu is actually the one using Fubara!!!

No wonder wlke is threatening to revoke the lands of top APC men like Gbajabiamila

Something doesn't add up about this whole thing

SIM card is essential

SIM HAS Full network NOW.

This is commendable from the federal government.

Rivers people took their own destiny in their hands and spoke in one voice

So, Police and IGP had no option but to fall into line..

Afterall, power belongs to the masses!

Good development. Wike is finally a goner.

This is a very good decision, Egbetokun should not be allowed to be used by the politicians, he should remember that, he has a name to protect, and he must always do that for the sake of is kids future, which is very important...

Sim the main man

Congratulations to SIM fubara

Fubara, Na man you be

Make Tinubu sack wike replace am with Reno

SIM card activated

Good news for the people are river state
FUBARA ====100
WIKED WIKE ==== 0.00000786

IGP shouldnt be too involved in this cause in the end, these guys might end their fight and then tuen against him individually


Some fights don fit your status and this is one of them

They are no longer obeying court order.

Nigeria police,I shame for una.

The only sensible and allowed action actually, Wike should know with this action, that Saturday (Oct. 5) elections have been ratified by the FG, a new structure has been developed in Rivers state for real. Bye bye Wike nonsense structure!!!!

Gradually, Wike is going down. Very soon, he is going to be a burden to Tinubu, PDP and both of them will offload him into dustbin of history.

Face-saving act from the IGP after receiving wotowoto blasting from SIM.
IGP pretending to be neutral. Funny people.
