The Assistant Inspector General of Police
(AIG) in Zone 7, Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu, yesterday ordered the detention of Africa
Independent Television (AIT) reporter Amaechi Anakwue.
Mbu invited Anakwue to his office for
allegedly referring to him as a “controversial police officer” during a
television programme.
It was learnt that on getting to the office,
Mbu ordered that his men to detained Anakwue.
The management of DAAR Communications last
night demanded the release of the reporter.
Mbu, who was Rivers State commissioner of
Police was redeployed to Abuja, following his hostile relationship with
Governor Rotimi Amaechi.
In Rivers State, Mbu was accused of
authorising the use of “rubber bullets” to disperse a group preparing to hold a
rally, in which Senator Magnus Abe was shot.
On getting to Abuja, he authorised the use of
water cannon to disperse protesting lecturers of polytechnics and colleges of
education at the Eagle Square.
He described himself as a “lion”, who tamed a
leopard in Rivers State, apparently referring to Governor Amaechi.
But Amaechi shot back, saying Mbu “completely
lacks the steel and strength of character of a lion, and is rather a shameless,
corrupt puppet and toothless attack dog of a woman.”
