Hausa, Others React To Shooting Of Abe
The Chairman of
Islamic Organisation for Eradication, Innovation and Establishing Sunnah (JIBIWE), Rivers State chapter, Alhaji Musa Lade has called on politicians to display more maturity in handling the ongoing crisis in the state.
Lade said yesterday that it was the organisation’s reaction to the shooting of Senator Magnus Abe at the political rally in Port Harcourt.
The chairman also urged the police not to be partisan in the political crisis in the state, noting that the police was the hope for peace in any given society and the reason tax payers money was spent on them daily.
He said the police should strive to ensure that justice prevails in its handling of the ongoing crisis in the state.
Lade expressed fears that militants could return if the ongoing crisis was not resolved before 2015 elections in the state.
Also, the Secretary General of Niger Delta Energy Development, Mr Tony Uranta said it would be a sheer display of negligence and incompetence by the police in the state, if the senator was actually shot by the police at the rally.
Uranta called for transparent investigation of the incident and bring to book the culprits for justice.
Also, an activist, Mr Ken Atsuwete called for immediate sack of the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Mbu Joseph Mbu for security lapses.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
