Nigeria is a free looting country. I don't think any serious govt can be just sit down and be looking while this kind of serous looting is going on.
Well i forget that our Govt is always those heading those looting.

GOD Save this Country called Nigeria

Members of the Rivers State House of Assembly have called on Nigerians to hold the state Police Commissioner, Mbu Joseph Mbu, responsible if anything untoward happens to Leader of the Assembly, Chidi Lloyd.

Lloyd had earlier last week reported to the Force Headquarters, Abuja, where he had what the police authorities described as “meaningful interactions” for four days.

“Since his arrival in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State Police Commissioner, Joseph Mbu has assaulted and tortured him like a criminal. They have been moving him from one station to another since he reported to CP Mbu’s office on arrival from Abuja.”

This alarm was contained in a statement on Sunday by 25 members of the Assembly, including the Speaker, Dan Otelemaba Amachree.

Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Leyii Kwanee, also spoke on Sunday at a press conference where he said Lloyd was already going



blind because of canisters of teargas allegedly shot into his eyes by the police.

Kwanee said Lloyd has been severely “tortured” by the police.

Lloyd is being held for his alleged role in the mace attack on Michael Chinda, member representing Obio/Akpor II in the state Assembly.

Kwanee narrated: “You all can recall that Chidi Lloyd who reported himself at the Force Headquarters was sneaked into Port Harcourt on Friday and we thought he would be charged to court same day.

“As I speak to you now we have just been informed that he is being held somewhere at the Force CID by the same police authority under Commissioner Mbu.

“Some of us are being denied access to him. We have been informed that Chidi Llyod, Leader of the Rivers Assembly, is going blind occasioned by the teargas sprayed on him, particularly on his eyes and medical help has been denied.

“Today, the 27 Pro-Amaechi members of the Assembly have met in all our churches praying and seeking God’s intervention in the matter.

“Nigerians, we know are good praying people but we must also not lose sight of the fact that Nigeria is signatory to various conventions and treaties bordering on human rights.

“So we are also looking at putting up a team of human rights lawyers who will look at the situation, putting all the human rights abuses that has been inflicted on Lloyd with a view that if justice cannot be gotten on the shores of Nigeria we may go to the international stage.

“We must seek justice to ensure that Chidi Lloyd’s rights are protected.”

The Deputy Speaker added that the Speaker, Amachree, is abroad for a Commonwealth parliamentary gathering in Namibia and hoped that the challenges and perceived injustice being faced in the Rivers House of Assembly would gain the Commonwealth’s attention.

Kwanee was optimistic that “the embattled Commissioner of Police, Mbu Joseph Mbu, would soon be removed from the state.”

“If you observed very well, the Chairman of the Police Service Commission, Mike Okiro, left this arena a while ago.

“He has been in the state to see things for himself. Don’t forget, the Senate has also recommended for Mbu’s removal. We expect that the decision of the Senate, the highest lawmaking body of the nation, should be respected.”

Kwanee, who is representing Khana Constituency II in the Rivers Assembly, also concluded that the recent reconciliation committee set up by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may not achieve far reaching results.

Meanwhile, the Rivers State PDP Chairman, Felix Obuah, has accused the state Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, of plotting to scuttle the prosecution of Lloyd.

In a statement through his Media Adviser, Jerry Needam, Obuah said he has reliable information that Amaechi “has directed the state Attorney General to lay ambush against the prosecution of Hon. Chidi Lloyd in Port Harcourt.”

Meanwhile, Rivers State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Worgu Boms, has commended the National Assembly for taking over the activities of the state House of Assembly.

Boms in a statement in Port Harcourt on Sunday explained that the intervention of both the Senate and the House of Representatives “has proved, beyond doubt, that the primary responsibility of governments is the preservation of lives and property.”

While commending all well-meaning Nigerians who saw through the alleged plot to remove Governor Amaechi, and rose against it, the commissioner urged them to celebrate the intervention “for, through it, countless lives have been saved.”

“I had stated several times that the disturbances are contrived: in other words, they were planned in advance, they were invented and not genuine, all to achieve a predetermined end and that is why the planners and their sponsors do not want any genuine approach to resolving it as such genuine resolution will not hit their target of removing the Governor by any means whatsoever and howsoever.

“This is the cause of action: ‘Remove Amaechi at all cost and by any means whatsoever’ and when that is accomplished, His Excellency can go to court and speak the grammar outside power and the period of the litigation will certainly last longer than his remaining tenure as in the Ladoja case.

“To many Nigerians, the courts are the place where disputes are buried and never resolved. So, those who seek any advantage at all cost, employ any means, fair or foul, legal or illegal, to attain it and then turn round to taunt their hapless victims by advising them to go to court.

“This is the tragedy of the Nigerian judiciary and it helps in promoting impunity as we are seeing in Rivers State in particular,” Boms added.
