Tinubu in London to See Wounded Sen. Abe

Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu

All Progressives Congress, (APC), National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has on Tuesday visited the  wounded senator representing Rivers South East Senatorial District in the Senate, Magnus Abe, at the Bridge Hospital in London.

He was allegedly shot in the chest by officers of the Rivers State Police Command while leading a rally organised by  Save Rivers Movement group.

The former governor of  Lagos was in London to check health of the wounded senator and also assure him of APC backing said one of Tinubu’s aides, Mr. Sunday Dare.

At the same time, leaders of thought from the four local governments that make up Ogoniland have warned that they would begin the process of declaring policemen operating in their area persona non grata.

The leaders, stated and reiterated, that they would not hesitate to use all their resources to fight and  chase away security operatives in Ogoniland should the incident that led to the hospitalisation of Abe, repeat itself.

Chairman of Ogoni Leaders of Thought, Justice Peter Akere and two others in a statement, called for the immediate investigation into the “near assassination” of their son, Sen. Magnus Abe.

 

You will all recall that the Rivers State Governor, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi has always accused the Commissioner of Police in Rivers as being a member of PDP and working to frustrate the activities of APC in the State.
