The Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has set up a panel of investigation to look into the crisis that characterized the Rivers legislative rerun elections.
The police has paraded five suspects for allegedly causing violence and hijacking electoral materials during the legislative rerun election that held in Rivers State last Saturday.
Despite the alleged killings and wide-spread rigging in the parliamentary re-run elections in Rivers State, the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, and the All Progressives Congress, APC, have produced winners.
As part of efforts to ensure the success of Saturday’s legislative elections in Rivers State, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, will deploy a total of 10, 294 officers for the conduct of the election.
The All Progressives Congress, APC, has accused Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, and the State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, of massive stockpiling of arms ahead of the December 10 legislative re-run elections in the State.
