The Leader of
the Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. (Barr) Chidi Lloyd had earlier in the
week reported to the Force Headquarters, Abuja and had what the Force
Headquarters described as 'meaningful interactions' for four days.
"Since his
arrival Port Harcourt...., the Rivers State Police Commissioner, Joseph Mbu has
assaulted and tortured him like a criminal. They have been moving him from one
station to another since he reported to CP Mbu's office on arrival from
Abuja". As his Lawyer Barr. Bello Olisa Nwofor stated 'the continued
blindfolding and detention of Hon. chidi Lloyd by the Police is emphatically
dangerous to his health and life".
"We have
also heard from the lawyer who accompanied Lloyd from force headquarters to
Port Harcourt, Barr. Emenike Ebete, that over 500 anti -riot Policemen escorted
Chidi Lloyd from the Airport to CP's office and transported in a ' Black Maria'
as authorities would move criminals."
As a House we
are indeed saddened to note that The Leader of the Rivers State House of
Assembly was blindfolded, tear gassed and handcuffed. As victims of this
scripted and staged crisis from Abuja with a Junior Minister playing a major
role and the Police Commissioner Rivers State as Key actor.
