Wike Breathes Fire As He Vows To Help The 6 Fired Police Officers Get Justice

Governor, Nyesom Wike,  of Rivers State on Saturday, avowed that the government and people of the state would not abandon the six police officers attatched to him who were sacked by the Nigerian Police Force in the week that was.



While speaking  during the defection of former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and ex-chairman of the council, Mr. Cassidy Ikegbidi in Ahoada East Local Government Area of the state, the governor made some assertive statements concerning the dismissal of the six police operatives whose names were given as. ex-Inspector Eyong Victor, ex-Sergeant Peter Ekpo, Oguni Goodluck, Orji Nwoke, Okpe Ezekiel and Tanko Akor.

 In Wike's words:

“They gave me policemen for my protection, but before I knew it, they have dismissed them. They think they are punishing them, but Rivers State will stand with them forever.

 “By the time we finish, they will realise that they have favoured the so-called dismissed policemen. In Rivers State, we don’t abandon people. No amount of intimidation will make me abandon these innocent policemen.

 “The policemen committed no offence. Simply because they followed their boss, they said they should be dismissed.

 “They want to discourage policemen from protecting me. For me, I am not worried. I am a village man and a grass-roots politician. Before you kill me, you would have killed so many people.”
