The Chief of Staff to the Rivers State Governor, Engr. Chukwuemeka Woke, has named notable persons that were either allegedly killed or kidnapped during the administration of former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
He accused the Minister of Transport, of promoting insecurity during his 8-year administration in the state.
Speaking while receiving 250 APC decampees on behalf of the Rivers State Governor on Tuesday at Rumuokani Ogbakiri, Ward 2 in Emohua Local Government Area, saying that Rivers State witnessed the highest level of kidnapping and political killings under the leadership of Amaechi.
He said that several leaders of the state ran away because Amaechi used his armed goons to target political opponents across the state.
He said, “It was under Amaechi that Charles Nsiegbe was murdered in cold blood by assassins. Late Captain Elechi Amadi was kidnapped while Former Vice Chancellor of University of Port Harcourt, Prof Nimi Briggs was also kidnapped.”
Woke said Governor Wike will continue to improve the security architecture of the state, despite the alleged sabotage by APC leaders.
