In a bid by the Rivers State government to recover some of the valuables carted away by the officials of the immediate
past administration in Rivers State, The Rivers State government on Saturday recovered an armoured Range Rover at the residence of the immediate past Chief of Staff, Government House, Port Harcourt, Chief Tony Okocha.

Officials of Rivers State government with the aide of some security personnel recovered the vehicle at the Rumuigbo residence of the former chief of Staff, it could be recalled another vehicle belonging to the Rivers State government illegally taken by the immediate former commissioner for information, Ibim Seminitari was also recovered on the 18th of June 2015. However Okocha is arguing that the vehicle was rightfully given to him by the Rivers State government under former Governor Rt. Hon Amaechi and that the vehicle was his ‘status car’, which the law allowed him to own after his service as a Government House chief of staff.
The former Chief of staff who said he was in Abuja at the time says : “I have just been informed of the forceful confiscation of my status car in the usual brigandage and ‘Rambo’ approach, which typifies the new caretaker administration in Rivers State.
“I am not, however, surprised at the uncouth action, knowing Mr. Wike’s nuances like the back of my hand, but warn that this seeming introduction of militarism into our democratic experience and the attendant ignominies may well become our bane if not checked.
He, however, disagreed with the claim that the Range Rover parked in his residence was without its four tyres when it was taken away.
“Is it possible to remove the tyres of my vehicle that I drive always? It is a white lie to say that the vehicle was parked without tyres.
“If they think they are saying the truth, let them show pictures of the vehicle while it was being removed. They must have used a forklift to remove it.”
But special adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Opunabo Inko-Tariah, stated that there was no way an armoured Range Rover would be a status car of a Chief of Staff, Government House.
Stressing that the four tyres of the vehicle were removed at the point it was parked inside Okocha’s residence, Inko-Tariah said the bulletproof Range Rover was the property of the state government.
He said, “As chief of staff, he (Okocha) has no right to use a bulletproof car without leave from government. Yes, a bulletproof Range Rover was recovered from his (Okocha) residence.
“However, what is staggering is that he removed all the tyres to demobilise the car and obviously to frustrate recovery.
“That act in itself is highly suspicious and obviates the need for any further evidence that it was stolen from Government House. You don’t need to remove the tyres of your car if there are no sinister plots.”
Its a well known fact that The Rivers State government house, Port Harcourt was looted of several valuables at the expiration of the immediate past administration and since then the present administration has intensified effort to recover all the loots.

Status car ke? To show that he is bigger than those who put them there to serve the state ba. The people of Rivers have no Status in his mind ba? Its well, we are watchinh them o ( even if we cant do norrin)

Loot recovery mood activated #

The students of history will remember that the recklessness of politicians today (NASS drama & State governor's "monarchist" rule) was the order of the day in 1983 when Major General Buhari overthrew the government of the second republic.

"He who has ears, let him hear..."
