Amby Uneze in Owerri
Despite the court order restraining
parties from further action in the impending impeachment of the Imo
State Deputy Governor, Prince Eze Madumere, the State Commissioner of
Police, Dasuki Galandachi has withdrawn all the security details
attached to him.
The State Governor, Rochas Okorocha had
on Tuesday directed all the relevant bodies involved in the impeachment
of the deputy governor to respect the state high court order. This also
affected the swearing-in of his nominee for the replacement of the
deputy governor as the ceremony was aborted in obedience to the court
order.
The implication was that the impeachment
which was done by a section of the State House of Assembly was illegal,
void and of no effect, considering the pendency of the court
restraining order.
In a release by the chief press
secretary to Madumere, Uche Onwuechekwa which was sent to THISDAY,
Madumere alerted the public of the withdrawal of his security
apparatchik thereby making him susceptible to attacks.
“The Office of the Deputy Governor
condemns the action of the Commissioner of Police for yielding to being
an instrument of oppression in the hand of the Governor and ready to do
his bidding, too.
“The Imo State Commissioner of Police,
in the wake of the failed swearing-in of the Governor Okorocha’s new
Deputy Governor designate due the refusal of the Chief Judge and other
qualified Judicial Officers in obedience to court order, had withdrawn
all police officers attached to the Deputy Governor.
“We view such action as not only
deliberate but playing-out a script his sponsor of not only harming the
Deputy Governor but to also take his life,” the statement explained.
