MBU/RIVERS POLICE COMMAND ORDERS CLOSURE OF ELEKAHIA STADIUM IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP 13, 0000 NEWLY EMPLOYED TEACHERS FROM COLLECTING THERE LETTERS OF EMPLOYMENT AND INDUCTION

RIVERS: THE GESTAPO STATE

Reports on social media and Nigeria Info station, 92.3 FM, a local radio station in Port Harcourt indicate that the Rivers Police Command today stopped the Rivers Government's newly recruited 13,000 teachers from collecting their posting letters.

The baffling action of the police took place at Liberation Stadium on Ken Saro Wiwa Road in Port Harcourt, where, owing to the teeming number of people involved, the Government had sensibly staged the posting letters collection event.

It's still unclear why the police stopped the new recruits from collecting their posting letters, but going by recent unsavoury events in the state, there are now palpable fears that Rivers State is now effectively under a police-supervised Gestapo rule.

Or better still, a state of emergency has been unofficially declared in the state. You will recall that there has been a political stand-off between President Jonathan and the Governor of Rivers state, Mr Chibuike Rotimi Amaech.

People are now at a loss as to why the police will be so compromised to stop legitimate functions of government and infringe on the fundamental rights of residents of the city of Port Harcourt.

There's yet no official response from the police.
