Governor Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi early this evening miraculously
escaped unhurt as a suspicious vehicle rammed into his convoy
along Igwuruta road on the Governor’s way to the Port Harcourt
International Airport.

According to eyewitness account, the accident was caused by the
intrusion of a Toyota Avensis with registration number AAA 767
AQ that rammed into the Governor’s convoy from the opposite
side of the dual carriageway, just after the C4I Security Post
along the Port Harcourt International Airport Road.

Rivers State since the last 3 months have been in the news as
political bigwigs in the state outwit themselves in a bid to wrest
political power and control the political landscape of the oil rich
state. Events reached their climax recently when the Rivers State
Police Commissioner; Joseph Mbu openly lambasted the
Governor whom he described as a Dictator.

The governor earlier in the day was reported to have demanded
the redeployment of the Commissioner of Police whom many
believe has pitched tent with Abuja-based politicians who are the
governor’s political adversaries.

The Police high command, in the meantime has however denied
knowledge of any affray between Governor Amaechi and the
Commissioner of Police, Joseph Mbu.
