Photos: Rivers State SARS commander pictured holding umbrella for former APC Governorship candidate, Dakuku Peterside.
Recall that Governor Wike had earlier declared that most of the kidnapping and armed robbery taking place in the state are perpetrated by operatives of SARS. The APC leaders are reportedly in the state to finalise plans for the party’s street protest in support of the embattled Akin Fakorede.
Read the report by Geru, who shared the photos:
The politicization of the Rivers State Special Anti-robbery Squad (SARS) got to an all-time low on Saturday as indicted SARS Commander, Akin Fakorede and his operatives participated in airport ceremony and fanfare for the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi and the defeated Rivers State APC Governorship Candidate, Mr. Dakuku Peterside.
They joined in the singing and dancing by APC members to the chargrin of passengers and other by-standers at the Port Harcourt International Airport. Most people wondered why the Nigerian Police has degenerated to the level of involvement in active partisan politics.
The Embattled Rivers Special Anti-Robbery Squad Commander (SARS), Mr Akin Fakorede joined his colleagues of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Port Harcourt International Airport to welcome the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and the defeated Rivers APC Governorship Candidate, Mr Dakuku Peterside.
Akin Fakorede was at the foot of the aircraft receiving the politicians and was caught on camera holding an umbrella for the defeated Rivers APC Governorship Candidate, Dakuku Peterside to shield him from the rain.
The APC leaders are in the state to finalise plans for the party’s street protest in support of the embattled Akin Fakorede.
The SARS Commander stands indicted for the alleged use of his operatives to promote kidnapping and armed robbery on two Federal Highways in Rivers State.
The Official Police Signal with the title: “Police Wireless Message ” and Reference Number DT0: 121030/09/2017 —INGENPOL-X-FHQ ABUJA TO-INGENPOL SEC ABUJA, noted that the squad received a distress call on the kidnap of Mr Ifeanyi and immediately swung into action. According to the signal, they met the three SARS operatives robbing and a gun duel ensued. The operatives had taken Mr Ifeanyi to a Fidelity Bank ATM where they compelled him to withdraw N500,000 as ransom. One of the SARS Operatives was killed, while Inspector Justice Nyeche who led the IGP team was injured
Akin Fakorede was caught on video invading the Rivers East Senatorial District Collation Centre on December 12, 2016 in an attempt to snatch the results of the district.
Only recently, Rivers SARS murdered a taxi driver in cold blood for inexplicable reasons.
It will be recalled that the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike had at a press conference alerted Nigerians on the negative activities of the SARS Commander, which has led to disruption in the state’s security architecture.
Governor Wike said: “Most of the kidnapping and armed robbery taking place in this state are done by men of SARS. They use exhibit vehicles to operate. As the Chief Security Officer of the state, you complain, but they choose to play politics with crime.
“They fight crime in some state, but they refuse to fight crime in Rivers State. We are done with the elections, but they are using SARS to create insecurity in the state.
“As I speak with you, they will deny. But the SARS Operative who was killed was amongst those who raided the Rivers East Senatorial District Collation Centre. This man can be identified in the video as one of those who invaded the collation centre with Fakorede.”
The governor stated that the deliberate acts of violence being perpetrated by the Police have been planned as part of the rigging process for 2019.
