The Rivers State Police Command has unsealed all 23 Local Government Area Secretariats in the state following the election and swearing-in of new chairmen.
This was confirmed in a statement by the Command’s spokesperson, Grace Iringe-Koko on Monday.
She said the newly deployed Commissioner of Police, CP Mustapha Bala acting on the orders of the IGP, Kayode Egbetokun has ordered the immediate withdrawal of all police personnel previously deployed to seal and safeguard the council secretariats in the state.
The secretariats were sealed in June following the disagreement between the Caretaker Committee Chairmen loyal to Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the immediate past local government chairmen, who were loyalists of Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)
