Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has accused the Deputy Commissioner of Police in the state, Adamu Abubakar, of sabotaging the lockdown of the state.
Speaking in Port Harcourt on Thursday after monitoring the compliance level of the lockdown in the state, the governor said, “It is unfortunate to see the level of sabotage that we get from the police, particularly the deputy commissioner of police, Operations, Rivers State Police Command.
“The deputy commissioner of police has no powers to issue approvals when the state government has locked down the state. After the State Security Council met and agreed on the lockdown, the DCP went ahead to issue illegal letters to companies to operate. I have never seen that in my life.” Wike said the State Security Council would hold an emergency meeting on the illegal activities of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Operations.
Wike insisted that the impounded vehicles would be auctioned, adding, “The defaulters will be tried by mobile courts and I have told the attorney general, all the impounded vehicles must be auctioned. By tomorrow, the honourable attorney-general would have advertised those vehicles and we will auction them.
