The Rivers Progressives Front (RPF) has accused the loyalists of the Governor Wike’s administration as responsible for almost everything and anything violence and kidnappings plaguing Rivers State.
They made this accusation via a statement,on Sunday, by the RPF spokesman, Elder Tamuno Iyalla, said the group

“is terribly concerned about this trend of things that has almost totally disorganised and dislocated social and economic life in our dear state. But more worrying is the emerging pieces of evidence that the supporters of Gov. Wike are also those behind the heightened state of violence and insecurity in Rivers State. On Thursday, some people were arrested by the police at Ada-George Road with three AK-47 rifles and 300 ammunition given to them. Based on their confession, they were given the arms by an official of Emohua Local Government…”

The RPF called on the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, CP Musa Kimo, to ensure that his men resist pressure from the governor and thoroughly investigate the matter and prosecute the suspects according to law.

“We remind the commissioner of police to realise that his reputation and office are being endangered by the activities of criminals who enjoy the support of the present government officials. This is the time for the commissioner to bring to the knowledge of all Rivers people and Nigerians that the intractable violence and insecurity in Rivers State are all induced and sustained by the present Rivers State government officials, directly and indirectly,” the group said.
