Governor Nyesom Wike has accused the Nigerian Army of running illegal bunkering in Rivers State.
“He cannot be removed here because they know the role he is playing for them: sabotaging our security architecture,” the governor added. Mr Wike said he has been leading security efforts to “reduce crime to the barest minimum,” in Rivers, which ranks amongst Nigeria’s most volatile states. But the army constitutes an obstacle for success, he alleged.
The governor did not provide any evidence to substantiate his allegations. His media adviser, Oraye Franklin, told PREMIUM TIMES he has nothing to add to the governor’s comments. Mr Wike has also regularly accused the government and security agencies, including the police, of plotting to assassinate him without corroboration.
He asked that enquiries should be directed at Aminu Ilyasu, a spokesperson for the 6 Division. But Mr Ilyasu, a colonel, also declined comments, saying he was at a function and could not immediately say when it would be a good time for him to speak.
He should arrest them.
D simple truth from Wike but nor tell u say your men nor join oil bunkers .
Nor be today e state. Make Dem go ask the 1st Commander of JTF in the ND. Zamani.
IsraelAdeniyiA1 Very possible, the Army and security agencies aid and abate bunkering in almost all the oil producing States. Wike is right, let the Army defend themselves.
Small truth dey inside
Oga you get proof?
If they disagree with HE Nyesom Nwike, let them redeploy the accused GOC, Brig Gen Jemilu Sahad, and come to clear their name at a transparently constituted public inquiry, one that is not constituted by the Army.
We all know about this since na, even in Delta state...its no new thing Fear army oh
Wike has made a comment. It is now the turn of the army to deny. And then for wike to come up with his evidence. Personally, I believe that the army will not respond, for their own good.
It is an established fact that, in the long run, no organise crime syndicate can prosper without the active support of law enforcement and government at all levels; coupled with commercial and business interest and links.
