Sahara Reporters are reporting that Governor Wike's Chief of Staff, Chukwuemeka Woke has been arrested over an alleged attempt on the life of NIMASA DG, Dakuku Peterside.
The Department of State Security
in Rivers state has thwarted an assassination attempt on Peterside Dakuku, the
All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in last year’s guber election in the
state and reportedly arrested ChukwuEmeka Woke, the Chief of Staff to Governor
Nyesom Wike for leading a killer squad in two Sport Utility Vehicles that
trailed and opened fire on Mr. Dakuku.
According to a
press release issued by Mr. Dakuku’s office, the gunmen trailed him from Aba
Road as he drove towards his house in the GRA area of Port Harcourt, but as his
car made to turn towards the GRA entrance to his home, the gunmen drove
aggressively hoping to overtake his car.
Mr. Dakuku then
changed course and drove to the state headquarters of the DSS as his security
aide had already radioed for help.
Soon as Dakuku
was allowed into the premises of the DSS, officers at the gate reportedly
opened fire on the two SUVs trailing him and succeeded in demobilizing the care
and got some of the occupants including Mr. Woke arrested.
One of Mr.
Dakuku’s security aides was seriously injured as a result of exchange gunfire
during the thirty-minute long encounter.
