Rivers impeachment crisis: Soldiers attached to Amaechi withdrawn and detained (REPORT, PHOTOS)

Rivers chaos in pictures

by Akan Ido

There was pandemonium at the Rivers state seat of power earlier today with law enforcement agents storming the Government House ostensibly to disperse a crowd of supporters who have come to express solidarity with the governor, Rotimi Amaechi.

Panic reigned everywhere as policemen launched teargas canisters into Government House.

Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports coming from Rivers state indicate that soldiers attached to governor Rotimi Amaechi have reportedly been recalled and detained on orders from a perceived “higher authority.”

Sources say plans are underway to withdraw the Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC) protecting the Government House.

We shall continue to monitor events in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital, as they unfold.

  1. Every body should be watchful for Rivers drama

  2. Is this why they vote him into office student are murdered inside school, University are closed prices es of food on the increase every day. N18000 minimum wage when a bag of rice is 12000 to 15000 naira four litre of grand nut oil is N4000 what is left ask Ngozi finance minister were is the transportation,house rent, school fees\transport for the kids? All GEJ could think is how to come back he should start packing his bag south south we don’t want him anymore he is a failure. Leave Amaechi alone GEJ forget 2015

    1. Son of the soil, we don’t want him,janothan should go,go go to hell he is the worst president we ever hav,all those problem with amaechi is been cause by Gej’s wife bcs she is from river state,she plan this evil impeachment,thank God amaechi is not ladoja, he is a wise man,wen dey say hei,he stand gidiba, na man be that jo,who born monkey,who be Gej when amaechi was governo in 2009,bcs this mumu obasonjo giv him the chance now,he com dey gapar(fuck u)amaechi go morder u.

  3. The Police and the Army are all properties of the President. What ever he like to do with them is his business. But one thing for sure, the truth is always bitter. Rivers people should wake up for the defend of the state from some selfish individual. This pple did not truly love the development of the state but their own stomach and their family. What ever is the problem, is the pple of Rivers can solve the problem not someone from outside the state to solve it for them. Don’t allow what happened in Anambra and Plateau in Obasajo time to happen with the good pple of Rivers. Who knows, after this, what will be next? If all the south-south people supported GEJ and he did not win 2015, what will be of the Zone and the pple of that area in the next government? Is not a guarantee that GEJ will win 2015. God help Nigeria.
