The crisis in Rivers State stems from disputes between Governor Sim Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, escalating recently over the leadership of local government councils.
Governor Fubara’s decision to install a caretaker committee after the expiration of council officials’ tenures sparked protests and opposition from Wike’s supporters.
In response, the police have issued warnings against any form of violence, affirming their readiness to maintain peace and apprehend individuals inciting unrest.
Commissioner Disu reiterated that Asabuja’s defiance in response to police invitations will not deter efforts to bring him to justice.
