Rivers LG Polls: Fubara foils midnight attempt by police to takeover RSIEC secretariat, redeploys CP
Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara thwarted an attempt last night by rogue policemen to breach the gates and strong room of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC).
The officers reportedly aimed to steal materials intended for this Saturday’s local government elections in the state.
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Nelson Chukwudi disclosed this in a statement on Friday morning.
He stated that some principal officers of the Commission, along with relevant government authorities who were working late, alerted the Rivers State Governor about the situation after they spotted the police officers.
According to him, the Governor immediately led a team of government officials, lawmakers from the National Assembly and State House of Assembly including top political stakeholders, and other leaders to the facility to foil the attempt.
He said the officers had to retrieve due to the presence of the governor.
Governor Fubara condemned the conduct of those policemen on illegal duty and wondered why the IGP was taking his friendship with some Abuja-based politicians too far.
His redeployment comes a day to the Local Government Elections in Rivers State and after the incident happened early this morning.
