Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, has narrated to the new Commissioner of Police in the state, Usman Belel, what his predecessor did to the state during his stay.
Belel, who was recently redeployed to Rivers, paid a courtesy visit to the Governor at the Government House on Tuesday.
Wike told the CP that people were beginning to lose faith in public institutions because of the unprofessional conduct of their personnel.
According to Wike, the Army, the Police and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, have failed to carry out their responsibilities in line with approved professional ethics.
Wike urged the Police to improve on their performance in the state.
He said, “People are beginning to lose confidence in public institutions in the country.
“I believe that as the new Police Commissioner, you will work for the confidence in the Police to return.
“Your predecessor allowed himself to be used by thugs to invade the courts in Rivers State.
“The Chief Justice of Nigeria called for the investigation and prosecution of those that invaded the courts, but Zaki Ahmed refused.
“Rivers State will not forget that it was Zaki Ahmed’s time that thugs invaded the Rivers State High Court, which is located near the Police Headquarters. He didn’t bring anybody to book.”
