[Shola Sholaz]

Pro-Governor Rotimi Amaechi members of Rivers State House of Assembly, have threatened to drag the Nigerian Police to the International Court of Justice over alleged torture and continued detention of  the Leader of the House, Mr. Chidi Lloyd, claiming that he is going blind because of his continued incarceration.
.
A statement by the lawmakers, alleged that Mr. Llyod, who was brought into Port Harcourt last Friday amid tight security was tortured and manhandled by the Police.
.
The lawmakers, who questioned why the Police had to allegedly chain and blindfold their leader, condemned the alleged actions of the State Police Commissioner, Mr. Joseph Mbu.
.
They also said  Mbu should be held responsible, if anything happened to Lloyd.
.
Lloyd is being held for his alleged role in the attack on Mr. Micael Chinda, member representing Obia/ Akpor II in the state Assembly. He has since been flown abroad for medical attention.
