Probe SARS Commander’s Involvement in Poll Infractions, Rivers PDP Tells IG via thisdaylive
The Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers State has called on the Acting Inspector General of Police Abubakar Adamu to institute a probe into the alleged involvement of the Commander of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad in the state, Akin Fakorede, and operatives of the squad in the killing and harassment of agents of the party during the suspended governorship and House of Assembly elections in the state.
Obuah said: “We also commend the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Yusuf Tukur Buratai, for inaugurating the Major-General TA Gagariga’s led committee to probe the allegations of misconduct, including the assassination attempt on our Governor, His Excellency Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, by soldiers during the 2019 general election.
“As we speak, one of the victims of Akin Fakorode’s assault, Dr. Ferry Gberegbe, a senior lecturer at the Ken Saro Wiwa Polytechnic has died of gunshot wounds, while Mr. Marvin Lezor Kpea-ue, Raymond Ledogo and several persons are presently battling with life-threatening injuries inflicted on them by Akin Fakorode and his murderous gang.
“Unfortunately and to the consternation of law abiding citizens, because nothing has been done to bring him to justice, Mr. Akin Fakorode continues to revel in his criminally culpable assault against our electoral system and the people of Rivers State and getting away with willful assault, murder and criminal violence as if he is above the law.
He said: “The PDP accepts the afore-mentioned pronouncements of INEC as substantial representation of the true state of the electoral process before the suspension.
