"Gov. Amaechi’s Life Is In Danger"

The Rivers State Government on Thursday night raised the alarm that the Commissioner of Police in the state, Joseph Mbu was taking measures it believed were endangering the life of Governor Rotimi Amaechi.

In a statement, the state Commissioner of Information, Ibim Semenitari, accused  Mr. Mbu of making curious, discreet enquiries about the governor’s movements.

Mrs Semenitari also accused the police commissioner of redeploying the police officer in charge of Mr. Amaechi’s convoy for failing to furnish him with details about the governor’s movement.

“After redeploying the Escort Commander, CP Mbu also requested the Camp Commandant of Government House, Port Harcourt, to give him prior briefing of the Governor’s daily movement. A request which in practice would be difficult to comply with unless the Camp Commandant gets prior knowledge of the Governor’s movement,” the statement said.

The commissioner added, “We suspect that the request for daily prior briefing on the Governor’s movement may be to furnish strange persons with necessary details of his movement and, thereby placing him in harms’ way.

“At different times, CP Mbu has compromised Governor Amaechi’s security and safety, and even personally led an attack on Government House, Port Harcourt on July 10, 2013. As Commissioner of Police, CP Mbu, refuses to brief the Governor, who is the Chief Security Officer of the state on the state of security in Rivers State.”
