Group Accuses Police Of Trying To Cover Up Attack On Jonathan

comments
3 years ago / Nation  Niger Delta 

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Solomon Arase has been called on by The Ijaw National Frontiers (INF) to investigate an attempt by the Bayelsa state Police Command to cover up the facts about the alleged attack on the former President Goodluck Jonathan.

A statement issued by INF coordinator, Dr Esther Atani in Yenagoa on Tuesday said, “We were shocked at the defence put up by the police in Bayelsa through the command’s public relations officer, that the arrested gang members are not militants but rather some set of hungry youths, who mistook Dr. Jonathan’s convoy for that of the gubernatorial candidate of the APC, Chief Timipre Sylva.

“As Bayelsans, we are familiar with several of the elements being used as political thugs by politicians and we make bold to say, that two members of the arrested gang are renowned militants from the Nembe area of the state, who have various criminal records, even with the police,” she said.

The Group also stated that actions taken by the police was a pointer to the fact that the security agency would likely be partisan in the days ahead of the governorship election in the state.

“We, therefore, call on all Nigerians of good conscience to join in demanding a thorough investigation into the attempted attack on Dr. Goodluck Jonathan since it is hard to believe that the police would join in insinuating that those youths were unfamiliar with Dr. Jonathan’s residence and so mistakenly followed him to the point of entering.

“We also demand fairness from the police and other security agencies in their conduct before, during and after the December 5 governorship election in the state.
We must all rise to defend Nigeria’s Democracy,” the statement said.
