Governor Nyesom Wike in the early
hours of (Saturday) today mobilised to stop alleged attempt by men of the
Department of State Security, DSS and the Police to abduct a Judge at his
number 35/84 B residence, Forces Avenue, Port Harcourt.
The governor who fielded questions
from newsmen in front of the Judge’s residence said he was manhandled by men of
the DSS and the Police who came to whisk the judge away.
“What has happened this night is
unfortunate. Even in military government it has never happened like this , you
listen to people. This is why we are here. I said not under my watch will I
allow this type of activity take place.
“The DSS, Police they cocked their
guns and said they will shoot me. And I told them I have never heard this type
of thing happen before.
Again this is to show that more of
this will come. Wondering why the security men will choose 1 am to storm the
residence of the judge the governor said their action portend danger for the
nation’s democracy.
He said all he expected the security
men to have done was to invite the judge, adding that if he had ignored the
invitation then other legal steps should have been taken.
