Immediate past Commissioner of Police in Rivers State Mbu Joseph Mbu (middle)
The immediate past Commissioner of Police in Rivers State Mbu Joseph Mbu did not manage to achieve his mission in the state, according to the local Government.
State Commissioner for Lands and Survey, Hon. Ezemonye Ezekiel-Amadi briefed the press at his office in state capital Port Harcourt.
It will be recalled that, before being redeployed to serve in the Federal Capital Territory, Mr. Mbu had warned his successor Tunde Ogunsakin to watch out for the tinted vehicles owned by the Government, as their occupants could be assassins.
"Here
is a man who, while he was here, hardly paraded any criminal arrested
by him. He doesn't have any pedigree to advice the new Commissioner of
because while he was here, he did not do his work as Commissioner of
Police," Mr. Ezekiel-Amadi said.
He described Mr. Mbu as an 'unstable character' and a 'lunatic', maintaining that the ex-Rivers Commissioner of Police had never arrested any 'Government agent' who used such vehicles during his 'infamous rule'.
Mr. Ezekiel-Amadi recalled the recent scandalous events when, allegedly on Mr. Mbu's orders, the police used teargas and rubber bullets to diperse a number of peaceful rallies.
"Here
is a man who claimed that he is a professional and that he has the
powers to either grant approval for rallies under the Public Order Act.
He claimed he had such powers. He did not know that Justice Anuli
Chikere of the Federal High Court, upheld by the Court of Appeal, had
nullified the Public Order Act. He didn't know [this] and he said he was a professional."
He said Mr. Mbu, in private conversations with Rivers State lawmaker Chidi Lloyd, district police officers and area Commanders under his supervision, spoke of 'chilling' things. One such thing was Mr. Mbu's assumption that he would be appointed the Inspector General of Police, IGP
"Who will appoint Mbu IG of Police?" Mr. Ezekiel-Amadi questionned. "I
want to assume that he came to Rivers State with a script. But you
can't you see that he failed in his assignment? He bungled it because he
doesn't have the brain to put together an action plan.
