Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike  has declared that he will not be a part of the planned police probe of the December 10 State and National Assembly rerun elections in the state.


Wike said that it was tragic that the police who joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) to kill the people of the state to say that they were going to investigate the incident.

According to report by BreakingTimes, Wike on Sunday, stated this at the thanksgiving mass of the Peo­ples Democratic Party (PDP) at Our Lady Chaplaincy of Catho­lic Institute of West Africa in Port Harcourt to mark the party’s vic­tory in the election.

He said that the outcome of the police probe of the rerun elec­tion had been determined: to in­dict the PDP and begin a polit­ically-motivated prosecution of the party members and officials of his administration.
After the election and fol­lowing the alleged leak of a vid­eo linking Wike to the violence in the state during the election, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Ibrahim Idris, had hinted that a probe panel had been set up to investigate devel­opments before and during the polls.

He said that the police would also probe the alleged threaten­ing of officials of the Independ­ent National Electoral Commis­sion (INEC) by Wike.
Wike said: “The police cannot deliberately murder Rivers peo­ple in cold blood and turn around to investigate. We are not a party to their so-called panel. We have passed that stage and we cannot fall into the trap of a panel of in­quiry. After killing our people, you want us to assist you unrav­el what? It is the police that killed our people.”
The governor expressed shock over the police decision to investigate issues surrounding the Rivers elections when “it is an in­terested party. The police were in­volved in the attempt to subvert the will of the people,” he stated

According to him, the same Police High Command which refused to prosecute the APC leaders caught on camera print­ing fake result sheets ahead of the elections had suddenly woken up to probe the election they helped the opposition party to rig.
He lamented that the peti­tions written to the Police High Command on the excesses of ACP Steven Hasso and the Com­mander of Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Mr. Akin Fakore­de, were ignored.
