Posted By
Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris Kpotun has
debunked reports that he ordered the killing of Rivers State
Governor, Nyesom Wike.
In an earlier report, the governor in an interview claimed
that the Police IG had instructed the state's Commissioner
of police to kill him ...
In a statement released on Sunday through the Police
spokesman, Jimoh Moshood, the Chief Superintendent of
Police (CSP) , it was disclosed that 221 police personnel
are currently attached to His Excellency, Mr. Nyesom
Wike, the Executive Governor of Rivers State for his
personal and office protection.
The Nigeria Police Force wishes to categorically
state that there is no iota of truth in all the
allegations and false assertions in the interview
granted by the Executive Governor of Rivers State,
His Excellency, Mr. Nyesom Wike as regards his
accusations against the IGP and the Nigeria Police
Force.
To clear doubts from the minds of good people of
Rivers State and other well-meaning Nigerians that
must have read the story and set the record
straight, the Force is under obligation to inform the
Public on the facts of the matter.
There was no time either recently or in the past
that the IGP gave an order or assignment to the
Commissioner of Police, Rivers State or any police
officer anywhere in the country to kill His
Excellency, Mr. Nyesom Wike, the Executive
Governor of Rivers State or directed the
Commissioner of Police, Rivers State to cage the
governor as alleged.
The NPF sees this statement as ‘ungubernatorial’,
‘unexecutive’, malicious and capable of misleading
and causing disaffection between the Nigeria Police
Force and the good people of Rivers State whom
the governor swore to lead and serve democratically
without prejudice and in accordance with the
constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
It is incumbent on the Nigeria Police Force to
educate the general public and draw the attention of
the governor of Rivers State to the facts and figures
available for press and members of the public to
verify, that there are 221 police personnel attached
currently to His Excellency, Mr. Nyesom Wike, the
Executive Governor of Rivers State for his personal
and office protection.
The breakdown is as follows, one ADC (SPO), one
CSO (SPO), one Unit Commander (Special Protection
Unit) SPO, one Unit Commander (Counter Terrorism
Unit) SPO, one Escort Commander (SPO), one Camp
Commander (SPO), one Admin officer (SPO) to
administer the police personnel, 54 Inspectors of
Police, 136 police sergeants and 24 police
corporals.'
The statement further revealed that the police
personnel attached to the governor is more than the
strength of some Police Area Commands in some
states.
'Obviously, the total number of 221 police personnel
attached to the His Excellency, Mr. Nyesom Wike,
the governor of Rivers State is more than the
strength of some Police Area Commands formation
in some states of Nigeria.This is done to ensure
optimum safety and protection of the executive
governor of Rivers State.
It is also factual to state that His Excellency, Mr.
Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers State has not at
any time reported or brought to the notice of the
IGP any security breach or lapses from these police
personnel attached to him till date,' the statement
added

Posted By
The Office of Communications, the regulatory authority for the broadcasting and telecommunications industries in the United Kingdom, has sanctioned Loveworld Limited, operators of  LoveWorld,  a religious cable channel, for airing “unsubstantiated claims linking the pandemic to 5G technology”. The television network owned by the Founder of Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, was also penalised for feeding viewers with the claim that coronavirus is a ‘global cover-up’. In a statement on Monday published on its website, Ofcom stated that the caution followed an investigation into the matter. The statement read in part, “Our investigation found that a report on Loveworld News included unsubstantiated claims that 5G was the cause of the pandemic, and that this was the subject of a ‘global cover-up’. “Another report during the programme suggested hydroxychloroquine as a ‘cure’ for Covid-19, without acknowledging that its effectiveness and safety as a treatment was clinically u...

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Posted By
Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...
