To prevent breakdown of law and order in Rivers State, following the row between Governor Rotimi Amaechi and the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Joseph Mbu, the House of Representatives, yesterday, passed a resolution to address the situation.
The resolution was adopted based on a motion by Mr. Peter Edeh (ANPP, Ezza North/Ishielu).
Deputy Speaker of the House, Mr. Emeka Ihedioha, who presided, directed the House Committees on Police Affairs and Justice to liaise with the office of the Inspector-General of Police, the Police Service Commission and the Rivers State Government to fashion out ways of improving working relations between the Rivers State Police Command and the Rivers State Government and report back to the House within one week.
This came as the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, said he did not have any petition from Amaechi against the Commissioner of Police, while Rivers State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Worgu Boms, advised Mbu to act within the law.
During his presentation at the plenary session, Edeh pointed out that in recent times, the media had consistently reported a break-down in the working relationship between Amaechi and Mbu.
