Category: Nigerian National News
Two senior police officers, an Assistant Commissioner of Police and
former Area Command of Bori Zonal Police Command in Rivers State, Mr
Akuki Kenneth and a Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP, Uche Mike
Chukwuma on Friday testified before the Rivers State Governorship
Election.
They both contradicted the claims by soldiers that the election was marred by violence.
However,
shortly after they gave evidence, a mild drama occurred within the
court premises as plain clothes policemen, who claimed to be acting on
the orders of the Inspector General of Police arrested the two officers
who testified before the tribunal.
In his testimony, the ACP said
he supervised the election in nine Local Government Areas and that
the
governorship poll held on April 11 was peaceful and that there was no
disruption of voting in the state.
According to him, there was peaceful distribution of election materials while voting held successfully.
