                                            FUBARA SLAMS POLICE OVER ATTEMPT TO STOP RIVERS LG ELECTIONS, WARNS OF CHAOS
Governor Siminalayi Fubara has accused the Nigeria Police Force of working to sabotage Rivers State's upcoming local government elections, set for October 5, 2024. In a press conference held in Port Harcourt, the Governor revealed that officers invaded the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) in an attempt to seize sensitive materials, an act he says was meant to derail the election.
Gov. Fubara alleged that the police, under orders from an Abuja-based politician, tried to halt the process just hours before polls were scheduled to open. βThe election will hold. Nothing will stop it,β Fubara declared, noting that all legal, security, and logistical measures had been finalized.
He slammed the Inspector General of Police, warning that any breakdown of law and order would be on the IGPβs shoulders. 
His Excellency also highlighted the hypocrisy of the police, asking why they would interfere with a process the Supreme Court itself had ruled on. "Is there a court bigger than the Supreme Court?" he challenged.
Fubara assured Rivers people that the elections would proceed peacefully, with or without police involvement, and urged other security agencies to step in if necessary.
