Nyesom Wike, the Rivers state governor has accused the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigeria police of being behind the series of kidnappings and armed robbery incidents in the state.
According the Punch, Wike who spoke with newsmen in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, September 13, said that Akin Fakorede, SARS commander was planted in the state to create an atmosphere of fear.
Naijaloaded gathered that the governor said the deliberate acts of violence being perpetrated by the police had been planned as part of the rigging process for 2019.
Wike said:
As the Chief Security Officer of the state, you complain, but they choose to play politics with crime.
”They fight crime in some state, but they refuse to fight crime in Rivers State. We are done with the elections, but they are using SARS to create insecurity in the state. As I speak with you, they will deny.
”But the SARS operative, who was killed, was amongst those who raided the Rivers East Senatorial District Collation Centre.
This man can be identified in the video as one of those who invaded the collation centre with Fakorede.
”I have never seen a country where they politicise crime. It is very obvious that they want to give the impression that Rivers State is unsafe.
They want to instil fear preparatory to declaring during the elections that there are so much killings.
”Authorities deliberately trying to destroy a whole state and you want the people to be happy. I will no longer write (to the IGP). Now is the time to take my case to the public for the whole world to know what is happening
The governor maintained that his administration had invested more than any other state in security, logistics and lamented that the police was working against the state.
