Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, said he is surprised at the prolonged silence of the Nigeria Police Force over the attempted detonation of an explosive device in Port Harcourt by protesters demanding the elongation of the tenure of former chairmen of local government councils.
Governor Fubara stated that if such action had been committed by his supporters, they would have faced immediate terrorism charges. The governor expressed his concerns after swearing in Emmanuel Onengiye-Ofori Frank- Fubara as the new Commissioner for Finance at the Executive Chambers of Government House in Port Harcourt on Monday.
'But, because it is from the other side, nothing is heard yet. But glory to God, they couldn't hide it forever, even if I have not been hearing anything. 'And, I am wondering, after how many weeks now, the Nigerian Police is still not able to come out and make a statement about the attempt by the man that tried to detonate a dynamite in front of Presidential Hotel, Port Harcourt. 'I am still wondering why it has not happened.
