They called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun, to arrest the CTC chairmen.
AS reported by The Punch, the former chairman of Emohua LGA Chidi Lloyd said:
“We are not cowards. If this continues, we will go back to our local government and force ourselves into the council. That’s exactly what we are going to do. We have kept quiet because of the kind of leader we are – who continues from time to time to preach the path of peace. We are not cowards,”
“If this continues, we will exacerbate the already exacerbated situation. We are not cowards. We are calling on the police to act fast. The State House of Assembly had written to the Inspector General of Police. We do not know why the police in Rivers foot-dragging are and saying that things are done properly.”
