"I am ready to defend Rivers State with my life" - Governor Nyesom Wike
Earlier today, Operatives of the Department of
State Services (DSS) and the police made an
attempt to arrest a Federal High Court judge in
Port Harcourt, Rivers state. The state governor,
Nyesom Wike, rushed to the scene and was
harassed by the operatives when he prevented
the arrest.
In a statement released this afternoon, the DSS
stated that they have indeed embarked on series
of special sting operations involving some
Judges of the Supreme, Appeal and High Courts,
but were resisted in Rivers state.
"In one of the States where the Service
operations were conducted, credible
intelligence revealed that the Judge had
Two Million United States Dollars
($2,000,000 USD) stashed in his house.
When he was approached for due search
to be conducted, he in concert with the
State Governor, mobilized thugs against
the Service team. The team restrained
itself in the face of unbridled provocative
activities by those brought in by the
Governor. Unfortunately, the Judge and
Governor also engaged the tacit support
of a sister security agency. The Service
surveillance team noticed that upon
frustrating the operation, the Judge with
the active support of the Governor craftily
moved the money to an unknown location
which the Service is currently making
effort to unravel."
Wike has now declared that he is ready to
sacrifice his life in order to protect the state
from 'external predators.' Speaking during the
flag off of the construction of the Abua-Emoh-
Egbolom road in Abua/Odual LGA today, Wike
said:
"This is the time to say no to illegality. If
they are testing the waters for rigging
and mayhem, it will not work. I told the
security operatives who planned to
abduct the judge that instead of this
impunity, you better take my life. I will
always protect the interest of this state.
When God gives you an assignment, he
will give you the enablement to complete
the assignment. Rivers people must be
ready to fight any form of injustice. I am
ready to defend Rivers State with my
life".
