COURT RESTRAINS EFCC AND AMAECHI FROM ARRESTING ISHI

The young and vibrant Caretaker Committee Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area, Hon. Samuel Nwanosike, has been granted a retraining order by a Port Harcourt High Court against both the EFCC and Chibuike Amaechi from stalking, intimidating, hounding, harassing, arresting or interfering with his fundamental rights.

The order is coming on the heels of the desperate bid by former Governor Amaechi to incarcerate Samuel Nwanosike, his local government Chairman, as part of strategic measures by the APC to subjugate the will of the electorates in the area and reduce the soaring fortune of the PDP there.

Previous efforts by former Governor Amaechi to arrest Hon. Nwanosike, popularly referred to as Ishi, by both SARS, FSARS, DSS and The Military, on spurious allegations have not been successful. Matters, however, came to a head after the brutal electoral defeat of the former governor, who neither could pull in the numbers at his polling unit, nor galvanise the support of his kinsmen at his ward or LGA, resulting in the loss of his party in the last rerun elections in credit to the political dexterity and leadership of Ishi in Ikwerre LGA as Caretaker Committee Chairman.

With this injunction, it is believed that former Governor Rotimi Amaechi would beat a retreat as a violation of this injunction as he did others prior to and during the March 19 rerun elections would mean a call to anarchy by the APC.

In the meantime, elders, leaders and youths of Ikwerre Local Government Area continue to protest the non release of already collated results of the rerun elections from their LGA by INEC, allegedly on the orders of former Governor Amaechi, whose Party lost the election and who has refused to be a democrat in accepting the results and will of the people.
