Amaechi's Enemies, Not My Enemies ––Rivers CP Mbu Boasts

Amaechi's Enemies, Not My Enemies ––Rivers CP Mbu Boasts

The Commissioner of Police in Rivers State, Joseph Mbu, on Thursday appeared before the National Human Rights Commission to answer to allegations of partisanship levelled against him by Governor Rotimi Amaechi.

He met with the Commission's panel of inquiry behind closed doors in Abuja but when he came he encountered some journalists outside and here is what the Police Commissioner told them:

“I think the issues in Rivers State are overblown. We are working with the governor amicably, but one thing is clear – the enemies of the governor are not my enemies.

“I am a police officer, an umpire and my job is to make sure that I protect everybody who is in Rivers State. That is my professional calling and I stand by it.”

Governor Amaechi is however accusing Mbu of various forms of human rights abuses and insubordination.
