AS reactions continue to trail the last weekend’s clash between the convoys of the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike and the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, Rivers State chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Felix Obuah has called for the immediate arrest of Amaechi.
The call is a sequel to what the PDP called the “unwarranted attack on Governor Nyesom Wike’s convoy” while on an inspection tour of some ongoing projects in Port Harcourt.
The PDP chairman in a statement said that Amaechi’s are becoming too many and if nothing is done immediately to prove to the minister and his like, that no one is above the law, he (Amaechi) will do more evil in the days ahead.
“This is a very serious issue”, Obuah stated adding, “that a man so highly placed in this country even though he is undeserving of the position could descend so low as to knock down a governor’s outrider on the middle of the road. Yet the police call it mere infraction between two prominent personalities in the State”.
“This is shocking to note and if we may ask, where was Amaechi heading to, on that fateful day and that particular time. This is the question the security agencies need to clarify”, Bro Obuah demanded.
“It’s against this backdrop that we are unequivocally calling that Amaechi be arrested for the authorized use of siren and for contravening all traffic rules that led to the ugly incident”, he stressed.
“Worse still, we hear that rather than reprimand the aggressor who is Amaechi and his thugs, Gov Wike’s outrider who was not only deliberately knocked down by Amaechi personally on the wheels but narrowly escaped being killed is being tried and threatened with a sack”. He added.
He described the move as unjust and ungodly praying that the police does not go ahead with such treachery to save the little that remains of the Nigeria Police image under IGP, Ibrahim Idris.
He warned the police authorities that Nigerians were watching particularly in light of all manner of atrocities and wanton waste of innocent lives by certain members of the Police force, particularly the federal SARS under the IGP in Rivers State to which he alleges that the police high command turns a blind eye while the perpetrators walk about uncaptioned.
“The PDP vehemently rejects the police report by Mr Zaki Ahmed, Rivers State Commissioner of Police on the matter, the report of Police as misleading and lies from the pit of hell.
The PDP revealed that the script that was read to journalists by the CP as the report on the incident, was written by Mr Akin Fakorede, the SARS Commander in Rivers State, an ally of Rotimi Amaechi, who was also with Amaechi on the day of the incident.
The PDP also revealed plans by the Inspector General of Police, IGP, and the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, to sack the Police outrider who was in the convoy of Governor Wike.
The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, further gathered that “in line with the directive of the Inspector General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, the Kangaroo Orderly Room Trial of the Police Outrider, Mr Job, attached to Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike who was knocked down by the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi was conducted by the State Commissioner of Police, Zaki Ahmed.
