Yet Another Brigandage In Rivers StateYet Another Brigandage In Rivers State

It is exactly 10 years today that some policemen abducted Dr. Chris Ngige from the Government House in Awka, Anambra State. The policemen led by the late Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Raphael Ige, simply ignored the immunity of Ngige as the state governor to carry out this infamy.

This act was, perhaps, the climax of the brigandage that reigned supreme in the state, which is home to many eminent and decent Nigerians.

On that occasion, the police was used by some actors who were close to Aso Rock...

To peddle influence and be lawless in Anambra. The activities of the brigands in Anambra State put liberal democracy to a severe test in the era of President Olusegun Obasanjo.
