THE former second-in-command to Alhaji Dokubo Asari, ex-militant commander, Brig-Gen. Wisdom Amachree a.k.a. Adekunle Black Scorpion, is alleging plan by the police in Rivers State to kill him because he reported the movement of weapons from Rivers State by Muslim fundamentalists to Jos.

“I surrendered over 4,000 rifles, machine guns, dynamites and hundreds of thousands of ammunition at Rumuji, Emohua LGA, on August 5, 2009 to embrace the amnesty offered by late President Musa Yar’Adua and vowed never to handle weapons again in my life”, he said in an interview in Port Harcourt.

The police have dismissed his allegation saying he is a serial liar.

But Amachree  said, “On  March 8, 2010,  some Muslim fundamentalists came to me  in Buguma, Asaritoru LGA, seeking for my help because they knew that I was a Muslim but did not know that I had converted back to Christianity.

“I  asked them the nature of help  and they said they had some cache of weapons to move to Jos but that since I was known by the police and also had police escort my vehicle would not be searched.

“Shortly after they left, I promptly reported the matter to one official of  the Joint Task Force, JTF, in Buguma, requesting him to aid me in arresting these men. Two military men were later detailed who promptly arrested the men when they brought and put the guns in the boot of my car.

Surprisingly, the men were handed over to Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, which   released them  with their  weapons.

Federal Government fails to articulate its intention in the power sector, no one will come forward with his money to invest. Until there is efficiency in the distribution end of the power chain,
