Sequel to Fubara’s challenge of Police presence at Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission’s (RSIEC) office earlier today, a group of agitators chased Police officers away.
In a now viral video shared on X, the agitators were seen ordering police officers to leave following court ruling over the upcoming local government election which ordered the withdrawal of the Nigerian Police Force from the election.
Rivers LG Election is set hold on Saturday 5th October amid court order to suspend the election.
The court ruling was, however rejected by the state’s governor who affirmed that the election will hold at the scheduled date.
NPO earlier reported the announcement of Rivers State Police Command’s plan to boycott the LG Election in adherence to the Federal High Court ruling.
