Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has accused the
state’s Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Adamu Abubakar of sabotaging the
lockdown in the state.
Wike in an interview on Thursday, alleged that the police
was issuing illegal letters to companies it collected money from.
He said the Deputy Commissioner of Police released people he
arrested because he had collected money from their companies.
According to him the approvals issued by the police or any
other authorities outside the office of the Rivers State Governor were illegal.
“It is unfortunate to see the level of sabotage that we get
from the police, particularly, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Operations,
Rivers State Police Command.
“The Deputy Commissioner of Police will sign approvals for
companies because he wants to collect money. I am the Governor of this state
and there cannot be two governors.
“The Deputy Commissioner of Police has no powers to issue
approvals when the State Government has locked down the state. After the State
Security Council met and agreed on the lockdown, the Deputy Commissioner of
Police went ahead to issue illegal letters to companies to operate. I have
never seen that in my life.
Governor Wike further stated that the state security council
will hold an emergency meeting on the alleged illegal activities of the Deputy
Commissioner of Police Operations.
He assured Rivers people that the lockdown will be lifted as
soon as the objective is achieved.
