Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Federal SARS, Kola
Okunola, has been taken hostage by thugs loyal to Chief Timipre Sylva and the
member representing Brass Constituency 1 in the Bayelsa State House of
Assembly, Israel Sunny-Goli.
The Secretary
to the State Government, Barr Kemela Okara, alleged that the thugs led by Sunny
Goli and backed by the military mounted pressure on the Deputy Commissioner of
Police to accept fake results from Brass.
He added that
the refusal of the Deputy Commissioner of police to sign the fake result caused
a disagreement between the police officer and a major of the Nigerian Army and
his men.
According
Okara, the DCP who insisted on submitting the right results to INEC was taken
hostage and stripped naked by APC thugs.
The situation
reportedly has caused serious tension in Brass. Okara further lamented that the
Nigerian Army seemed to have taken charge of collation of the election results
in Brass in total disregard of the directives of INEC that the military should
restrict itself to the provision of security only to the precinct of electoral
activities and not be directly involved in what in considered a strictly
civilian activity.
Attempts by our
correspondent to get the reaction of the Nigeria Army authorities and the police
to react to the development proved abortive as at the time of going to press.
