THE Rivers State Police Command has declared a former Niger Delta militant leader Gabriel ‘General’ Asabuja wanted.
Asabuja was allegedly seen in a number of viral videos making some strong comments amid the local government council crisis rocking the state. He declared his readiness to defend the position of Governor Siminalayi Fubara and ordered the erstwhile council bosses to harken to the directive of the state governor and vacate council secretariats.
However, while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Rivers State Commissioner for Police, Mr Tunji Disu said there’s a need for Asabuja to come forward and answer some questions.
Condemning the utterances, Disu said: “The video caused a lot of panic in the state. It gives a lot of concern to everybody even out of the state. I want to assure you that we are not going to take kindly to that. We have put actions in motion. We would get him at the appropriate time. We have gotten a lot of people of his kind.
“You cannot prepare a video and start firing and threatening people not to move around and do what they are expected to do in town and expect the police will fold their hands. We are working towards it. We have invited him and he does not want to come but we will do what we want to do. We are looking out for him.”
“He is wanted. That is correct,” the Rivers State Commissioner said on the current affairs show.
