BEVERLY HILLS, October 08, (THEWILL) – The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike was in the wee hours of Saturday threathened by men of the Department of State Services, DSS, and the Police who were said to have threatened to shoot him for mobilising to stop an alleged abduction attempt of a Judge at his number 35/84 B residence, Forces Avenue, Port Harcourt.
Speaking with the press in front of the Judge’s residence after the incident, Wike said he did not bother to know the name of the judge, adding that he was manhandled by men of the DSS and the Police who came to whisk the judge away.
He explained further that he only had to come out to stop the attempted abduction of the judge because as Chief Security of the state he would not allow such lawlessness take place in his state.
According to the governor, “What has happened this night is unfortunate. Even in military government it has never happened like this , you listen to people. This is why we are here. I said not under my watch will I allow this type of activity take place.
“The DSS, Police they cocked their guns and said they will shoot me. And I told them I have never heard this type of thing happen before. Again this is to show that more of this will come.”
Wondering why the security men will choose 1 am to storm the residence of the judge, Wike said their action portend danger for the nation’s democracy.
He maintained that all he expected the security men to have done was to invite the judge, adding that if he had ignored the invitation then other legal steps should have been taken.
