Police operatives in Abuja have arrested two loyalists of the Rivers governor including the lawmaker representing the Aboada West Constituency of the state House of Assembly, Sokari Goodboy.
It was reported that the police also picked up a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers state identified as Ezebunwo Ichemati. They were arrested by policemen outside the venue of the National Executive Committee meeting of the PDP in Abuja on Thursday, April 18.
In a viral video, a lady who claims to be a member of Governor Sim Fubara’s media team, said the duo were arrested on the orders of a local government chairman in Rivers State.
She stated, “All of us, the media team that came from Rivers State were together. The next thing – he (the LG Chairman) pointed out that they should arrest the present serving Assembly member who is representing the good people of Aboada West.
“The next thing that came up again, he started giving them instructions he attacked Ezebunwo and tore his shirt”.
“We don’t even know what we are doing here because he has ordered that they should arrest all of us.”
