You did, Amaechi's men tell CP
FROM CHRIS ANUCHA, PORT HARCOURTRivers State Police Command has denied withdrawing security details attached to some top government officials in the state. But the Chief of Staff, Government House, Chief Tony Okocha, insisted that policemen attached to him, and the Secretary to the State Government(SSG)George Feyii, had been withdrawn.Police Spokesman in the state, Mr. Ahmad Muhammad, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), told newsmen in Port Harcourt that the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu, did not order for the withdrawal of security details attached to the top government officials.
"It is not true. We (Police) did not withdraw their security details. I cannot say more than this,'' Muhammad told journalists, who took him up on the issue.
And he made good his vow not say more on the matter, as all entreaties to make the Police Public Relations Officer(PPRO) to speak further failed.
In a quick reaction, Tony Okocha said he was shocked at the PPRO's denial. According to him, security details under the Special Protection Unit attached to his official residence were withdrawn on the order of the Commissioner of Police.
He said: "Security details under the Special Protection Unit attached to my house and that of the Secretary to the State Government have been withdrawn. As I speak, no reason was given for the action and we are now left with only one police orderly each. Nobody has contacted the state government to give reasons for the action and we were not given prior notice.''
