Following the spate of violence which marred the rerun elections conducted in Rivers State last year, the state governor, Nyesom Wike, has beckoned on the Nigerian Police to reveal information on Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) assassination.

According to Ceoafrica, Governor Wike threw the challenge at the police in a statement signed by his media aide, Simeon Nwakaudu yesterday.

Wike who spoke with journalists wondered why the police are reluctant to make public the communication an All progressives Congress (APC) chieftain and former commissioner of power had with the killers before the DSP was murdered.

“The police should let the world know, ‘where the DSP was killed? What is the polling unit where he was killed? The former commissioner of power who was mentioned by the killers, has he been questioned?

“Where is the call log of the former commissioner’s communication with the killers? Have they checked the discussions between the commissioner and the arrested killers?

“They know the truth but they want to cover a lot of things.  The army announced that they recovered the uniforms in the forest, was there a polling unit in the forest?” he queried.

Governor Wike who stated further that the steps being taken to blackmail the state government would fail because the people of Rivers State could not be cowed, appealed to journalists to always defend the truth and speak out.

“The survival of democracy to a large extent depends on a vibrant media. Certain things happening in the country must be made public by the media,” he said.
