The Rivers police command has asked the Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees to suspend its planned protest.
Paul had said the police siege at the LG headquarters has prevented NULGE members from accessing their offices. “The police command respects the right to lawful assembly but has received credible intelligence indicating potential infiltration of the planned protest on Monday,” the statement reads.“Consequently, the command advises the organisers to suspend the planned protest to avert any possible breakdown of law and order.”This followed the end of the three-year tenure of the council chairpersons.
The development heightened the political tension in Rivers as residents protested at some of the LGA secretariats in the state.In April, the Rivers assembly passed the local government amendment bill into law despite Fubara’s refusal to give his assent.
