Rivers State Government Demands For The Immediate Reinstatement Of The 6 Police Officers Fired Today

The Rivers state government has thrown-in some strong comments in comeback to the dismissal of six police officers working with governor Nyesom Wike.The 6 police men who were accused of being used during the state's legislative rerun election held in December last year.
A statement released by the state commissioner for Information, Austin Tam-George, says the dismissed officers committed no crime other than helping to stop a planned assassination of Governor Wike.

 The statement read in part...

"These officers committed no crime, other than stopping a carefully planned assassination attempt on the life of Governor Wike. The officers are the latest victims of the medieval authoritarianism of the APC government that seems to lurch blindly in the miasma of its own incompetence. We urge Nigerians to demand the immediate reinstatement of these officers, and for the Inspector General of Police to allow an independent inquiry. The APC government has never hidden it’s desperation to overrun Rivers State, colonise its people and loot the treasury of the state, but the Rivers people have seen the face of the Lord, and will spare no sacrifice as we resist the satanic agenda of the APC government”
