Rivers Police Commissioner Wants To Kill Me – Nyesom Wike

Governor Nyesom Wike has alleged that the new Rivers state police commissioner has been ordered to kill him.

Wike said the state police boss was given the instruction by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris.

According to Daily Post, the Governor said this on Saturday, April 8, 2017, while speaking with newsmen.

Wike said “The inspector general of police has given him instructions on what to do. The inspector general has told him he must cage the Rivers State governor.

“He shouldn’t come and tell me he wants to do any professional work. Who is he to say that?”

“Which mind? Before he was posted here, he was told what to do. They don’t post people based on competence but loyalty; someone who will do their bidding.

“Do you know that we are the only state that has had about nine commissioners of police in just two years?

“When he was going to be sent, there were about three of them that were called, and interviewed. They said they were going to kill me.

“They took this one who said he would be diplomatic about it. We know.

“This police commissioner has an agenda; I can’t be deceived. I’m not saying he should go; let him stay. He has been given an assignment to kill me. No problem. No man dies two times.
“This inspector general of police said so,” he added.

Wike also said “Yes, I’m telling you. The inspector general of police, who removed my security details without letting me know until when I was going out and realised that I had no security personnel. What is the implication of that?

“When a supposed chief security officer of a state wakes up in the morning and realises that he has no security personnel attached to him, what do you expect? What’s the implication? Danger!”

In January 2017, the Nigeria Police Force dismissed six officers attached to Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.
