Ameachi Staged His Attack, Nobody Attacked His Convoy

 

After claims by the Rivers State arm of the All Progressive Congress, hit the media, the police command of the state has stood to dispute the claims of the APC, citing there was no proof, anybody shot at the governor’s convoy.
   The governor’s spokesperson, David Iyofor, had earlier reported that the incident did happen in Rumuolumeni, Obio Akpor area Port Harcout where the governor’s convoy was reportedly attacked by unknown political thugs who shot at the governor, however, the Rivers state police command has released a counter-statement to dispute the claims. Spokesperson of the police command Muhammed Ahmad, said in a statement that contrary to the claims by the Rivers State governor that their convoy had been attacked by
political thugs, the gunshots that were recorded actually came from the convoy itself.
       
Read Police Statement:

1. The Rivers State Police Command wishes to react to the news that went viral on both normal and social media quoting David Iyofor, Chief Press Secretary to Rivers State Governor to the effect that gun shots were fired at the convoy of his principal at Rumuolumeni, Obio/Akpor Local Government.
2. To put the records straight, after a successful and peaceful rally under the close watch of Policemen led by the Divisional Police Officer of the area, shots were indiscriminately fired from the convoy of the Governor for reasons best known to them, as against the wispy claim of David Iyofor. No shots were fired at the convoy of the Governor.
3. The false alarm which is the usual penchant of the State Government may not be unconnected with the bogus claim of assassination attempt by his principal that is to just whip up public sympathy.
4. The Command urges politicians to refrain from whipping sentiments by toying with security issues to create needless public panic, where there is none, please.
