PORT HARCOURT— Campaign organisation of the governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State has raised alarm over alleged plot by the opposition political party in the state to kill the Caretaker Committee Chairman, Etche Local Government Area, Mr Charles Anyanwu.

The Caretaker Committee boss, Mr Anyanwu, at press time was in custody of the state Police command. According to the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Ahmad Muhammad, Anyanwu was arrested along with others for illegal possession of firearms.

A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt dismissed a suit against him by the Police for lack of competence and improper charge on Tuesday. He was re-arrested same day at the court premises by the Police. A statement by Greater Together Campaign Organisation of the APC governorship candidate said there were alleged plots by the opposition to kill the council boss.

Director of Communications of the body, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, described the alleged move of the opposition as sad. She said: “The Greater Together Campaign Organisation has raised the alarm over plots by the opposition in Rivers State to kill the Chairman of Etche council, Mr. Anyanwu, an APC, chieftain. The prelude to the plot is his current illegal arrest, detention and frivolous charges slammed on him.”
