Gheng Gheng: IGP Arase Orders Probe Of Rivers and Akwa Ibom Election

The Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase has ordered investigations into alleged electoral fraud committed in Rivers and Akwa Ibom states during the last general elections.The probe is to ascertain the level of complicity of the Resident Electoral Commissioners, REC in the two states in the manipulation of the election results.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has requested an electoral fraud investigation  against Mrs. Gesila Khan, who is the State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), and her Akwa Ibom State counterpart, Barr. Austin Eni Okojie.
In a statement signed by APC State Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, and issued in Port Harcourt on Sunday read;

“The news of the probe ordered by IGP Arase came to us as a big relief. We commend the IGP for this bold step. We have shouted ourselves hoarse since the March 28 and April 11 elections, calling for the investigation of the Rivers REC, a disreputable woman who is supposed to be in jail for the needless pains she has caused Rivers State people by brazenly manipulating the results of the last elections in the State to favour the then-ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidates. The juicy cars and the new lifestyle of this greedy woman must be investigated and the sources of her new found wealth exposed,”
“The final destination of Mrs. Khan should be no other place than the Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison in Lagos and that is where we will make sure she spends the greater part of her years for the shame and pains she has undeservedly inflicted on Rivers State,” the party said.
“Surely, there is no escape route for this evil woman, as we are making arrangements to sue her for the deaths and pains she brought to Rivers State and her people by organising the worst election in the annals of elections in Nigeria.”Rivers APC said.
