Wike Vows to Expose Video Showing Atrocities Committed by the Military in Rivers Rerun Election

 

The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, has vowed to expose videos showing atrocities committed by the military during the Saturday Rivers State rerun election. 

 

He said on Monday that the state government had compiled videos of the atrocities committed by the military across the state during the rerun elections. He explained that the public will soon see the videos when the time is right.

 

He accused the All Progressives Congress of using the military to threaten the peace of the state.

“We have videos of the atrocities committed by the military across Rivers State. We shall release them at the appropriate time,” Wike said. “There is an attempt to cause violence to declare a state of emergency in Rivers State.”

 

He pointed out that the statement credited to the National Secretariat of the PDP that the Federal Government was planning a state of emergency in the state should not be disregarded.

“There is always an element of truth to every rumour,” the governor added. “The APC is merely involved in propaganda to create the impression of violence.”
