Governor Rotimi Amaechi Accused Of Kidnapping

The Rivers
State
Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has
accused the state Governor, Mr. Rotimi
Amaechi, of masterminding the kidnap of the
Chairman of the party in Port Harcourt Local
Government Area, Mr. Ikechi Chinda, a former
member of the House of Representatives, Mr.
Chinyere Igwe and Mr. Allwell Ihunda.
The state Chairman of the PDP, Mr. Felix Obuah,
said the three members of the party were abducted
by unidentified gunmen at about 8pm on
Wednesday around Eagle Island axis of Port
Harcourt.
Obuah, who spoke with newsmen at the state PDP
secretariat on Thursday, alleged that Amaechi and
the All Progressives Congress-led government were
responsible for the kidnap of the party members.
He expressed surprise that the governor was
playing politics with the security of lives and
property and branding his political opponents his
worst enemies.
Obuah said, "After a very careful examination of
the circumstances surrounding the abduction of
our party leaders, the party believes that the
abduction was masterminded by Amaechi and the
APC-led government in the state.
In her response, the state Commissioner for
Information and Communications, Mrs. Ibim
Semenitari, described the PDP as insensitive for
playing politics with the lives of their members.
Semenitari said the state government condemned
the abduction of three members of the PDP and
appealed to the state Commissioner of Police, Mr.
Tunde Ogunsakin, to ensure the release of the
victims and arrest of those behind the act.
Reacting to the abduction of the three PDP
members, the state Commissioner of Police said
the State Police Command was aware of the
incident and was working round the clock to ensure
the release of the victims and arrest of those
behind the act.
