Gov . Amaechi Stage Managed His Gun Attack - Rivers Police Say

The Rivers state Police command has released a
statement regarding the alleged attack on Governor
Rotimi Amaechi's convoy in Port Harcourt
yesterday March 26. In the statement, the police
said contrary to what was said by the Amaechi's
Chief Press secretary, David Iyofor that political
thugs loyal to the PDP attacked the governor's
convoy, it was Governor Amaechi himself who
orchestrated the gunshots fired at his convoy to
gain public sympathy. Read the statement after
the cut...

"The police 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 gunshots were fired at
the convoy of his principal at Rumuolumeni, Obio/
Akpor local government. 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. 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.
The command urges politicians to refrain from
whipping sentiments by toying with security issues
to create needless public panic, where there is
none, please.” the statement read
