Some youth organizations in Rivers State have called on the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to redeploy the state Commissioner of Police, Nwonyi Polycarp Emeka and his Deputy.
The group in a statement accused the CP and his men of being involved in the political crises that rocked the state.
They also accused the command of attacking the state govrenor and aiding some state Assembly members to sit outside the chambers despite the security situation in the state.
“We condemn the unprofessional actions of the police who aided some members of the Rivers State House of Assembly to sit outside the Chambers despite the security situation and the direct attack on the Executive Governor of Rivers State.
“Sir Siminalayi Fubara was teargassed and shot at with water canons by the police led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Operations. For reference purposes, the commissioner of police in Rivers State should ask and learn from the actions of predecessor, especially Mr Joseph Mbu and see whether all his negative acts against Rivers people were commensurate to what he got from the same Nyesom Wike, his then paymaster, who used and dumped him.
“The Inspector General of Police should, without further delay, redeploy the Commissioner of Police and the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Operations, for their direct attack on the office of the governor of Rivers State,” part of the statement read.
