Rivers: Security agencies compromised, they shot at me, says Fubara

Governor Similanyi Fubara of Rivers State on Monday accused security agencies of being compromised and taking sides in the political crisis involving him and leaders of the state assembly.
Indeed, the governor said some security operatives shot at him.
He spoke with some of his supporters at the assembly complex Monday morning.
This is after Edie Edison, his strong ally, was removed as Majority Leader of the Rivers House of Assembly.
The governor also reacted to his impeachment notice by the House, saying he had not done any wrong.
Fubara has reportedly fallen out with his predecessor and current Minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
The governor said, “From what I have seen the security agency is even compromised. They were shooting at me directly but it doesn’t matter, somebody will die one day.”

He also said, “When people here ask who is this Fubara? He is that man that was killed for his struggle. I am not against anybody. I’m not planning anything against anybody that I don’t know where these things are coming from.
“Let it be put on record that whoever masterminded this is trying to shift… I heard some people gathered to do whatever. That is purely rubbish. You can’t sit when there is problem and say you are doing anything. What are you doing?
“I’m the chief security officer. I’m the head of the government. Whatever action that is taken here is null and void.
“For our good people, I know you are prayerful. You have been praying for me. God will see us to the end.”
