The Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday alleged that Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike in connivance with a personal aide to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki attempted to breach peace in the Federal Capital Territory.
The service in a statement said it has arrested three people in connection to the plot while the mastermind, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, a personal aide to Saraki is still at large.
The statement reads: “The Department of State Services (DSS) wishes to inform the general public that it has uncovered a sinister plot by the Rivers State Governor Nyesom WIKE to disrupt machinery of governance in strategic Federal Government agencies by provoking a violent breach of peace in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, today, 22nd December, 2016 and beyond especially at this yuletide season.
“In furtherance of this plot, protesters are to besiege the National Human Rights Commission, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), National Assembly, the Nigerian Army and Police Headquarters as well as British High Commission, US Embassy and the UN Secretariat, Abuja; all in an effort to raise false alarm that Rivers State was under siege of security agencies during the elections. While the obvious aim is to draw public sympathy and international attention to spurious allegations of involvement of Federal agencies in violence during the last elections in Rivers State, the actual objective is really to trigger a round of violent action against the government and create opportunity for idlers to join the deceitful protest.
“Though IKENGA is now at large, the trio of Emeka IDIBIA, Ugo APUAMAGHA and Ejike NWACHUKWU have been arrested and are helping with further investigations.”
The service also accused Governor Wike of being the sole sponsor of the ‘violent’ mission and enjoined Abuja residents to remain ensuring that the full wrath of the law will be ‘brought against persons or group of persons who may threaten the peace and stability of the country.’
