Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has led a delegation of
Rivers indigenes to meet with the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali at
the force headquarters, Abuja.
Wike at the visit urged the IGP to unravel the real motive
behind the invasion of the Abuja residence of the Justice, Mary Odili of the
Supreme Court.
The governor expressed displeasure that weeks after the
incident the magistrate who issued the search warrant, had not been
interrogated.
He, however, hailed the IGP for the arrest of the 14
suspects involved in the siege but wants the police to ensure that every other
person involved directly or indirectly are made to face the law.
“We believe we should get to the root of this matter and
anybody who is directly or indirectly involved should face the wrath of the
law. It does not matter the person’s position. That is the only way somebody
can stop saying if a Justice of Supreme Court, second in command, could face
this, what about the ordinary people, what will happen? I am quite confident
that you will unravel whatever that has happened.”
“Nobody has said anything about the magistrate, and we
believe that the magistrate is not unknown.”
On his part, the IGP disclosed that the police had written
to the Chief Registrar of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) asking for
release.
“We wrote a letter to the Chief Registrar of FCT to release
the magistrate, and instead of releasing him, they replied our letter, plus his
statement to us. So, we don’t want to pick any quarrel. What we needed was the
statement. We are working with the statement. He has not denied the fact that
he has issued a search warrant and that is what we wanted to confirm.”
