The Rivers State Police Command, on Monday, declared Governor Rotimi Amaechi’s Aide De Camp, Seimeikumo Debewari, a deserter.
The state police command said Debewari
had seized to be the ADC to Amaechi since his disappearance and refusal
to obey directives from the force.
Debewari, who is an Assistant
Superintendent of Police, was said to be involved in the free-for-all
that took place in the State House of Assembly on July 10, 2013.
A statement by Assistant Commissioner of
Police in charge of Administration, Mr. Augustine Sanomi, on behalf of
the State Police Commissioner, Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu, indicated that the
governor’s ADC had refused to report to Mbu or the Inspector General of
Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, as instructed.
The statement read, “The Rivers State
Police Command wishes to inform the general public that AP/No. 100659,
acting ASP Seimeikumo Debewari, who has ignored all lawful directives to
see the Commissioner of Police and the Inspector General of Police has
not been seen either in Rivers State Command or at the Police
headquarters since 10th July, 2013.
“As the Commissioner of Police, Rivers
State Command, and by the powers conferred on me by Section 398 [1] of
the Police Act and regulation cap 359, Law of the Federation of Nigeria
1990, the officer is hereby declared a deserter from Nigeria Police
Force subject to the approval of the Inspector General of Police.’’
According to the statement, Amaechi’s ADC has been implicated in the Rivers assembly crisis.
It said the video clips captured the
governor’s ADC assisting Leader of the House, Mr. Chdi Lloyd, to hit a
member, Mr. Michael Chinda, with a mace.
“While the House Leader, Chidi Llyod,
turns himself up to the police authorities in Abuja, the governor’s ADC
refused to honor the invitation,” the police statement added.
Meanwhile, the Minister of State for
Education, Mr. Nyesom Wike, has accused Amaechi of being responsible for
the circulation of posters bearing his photograph and name for the 2015
governorship election in the state.
In a statement signed by Wike’s Special
Assistant on Media, Mr. Simeon Nwakaudu, the minister said, “It is
unfortunate that Governor (Rotimi) Amaechi and his allies are still
playing an uncivilised and vengeful politics, using primitive tactics in
trying to destroy someone who is building a united, peaceful and
progressive Rivers State.”
Reacting to the allegation that the
Amaechi administration was responsible for the circulation of the Wike’s
posters, the Chief of Staff, Government House, Port Harcourt, Mr. Tony
Okocha, said the governor had no hand in such act.
Okocha said, “A man who is busy setting
up campaign outfits cannot pretend not to be aware that his overzealous
supporters are responsible for the circulation of his governorship
posters.
“A man who was declared the next
governor of the state during an event in Ahoada East and he did not
refute it should know the real source of the posters.
“Those supporting him (Wike) are
overzealous and are doing this to impress him. We are too busy to be
involved in such an inconsequential act.”
