murdered during the Rivers rerun elections
- The Rivers governor has accused the
police of hiding some details

the police
Governor Nyesom Wike has called on the
Nigerian Police to tell the world how and
where Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP)
Mohammed Alkali was murdered during the
rerun legislative elections, Leadership
reports.
According to the governor, the police have
also refused to make public the
communication that DSP Alkali’s killers had
with a chieftain of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) and former commissioner of
Power, Sir Augustine Kachi Nwokocha,
before he was brutally murdered.
Nwokocha, who was accused of having a
hand in the police officer’s death, denied the
allegation last month.
However, Governor Wike wonders why
Nwokocha has not been questioned.
Wike accuses police of bias over murder of DSP
Alkali
Speaking at the government House, Port
Harcourt, when he granted audience to the
management of a private media organization,
Wike said: “The police should let the world
know where the DSP was killed? What is the
polling unit where he was killed? The former
commissioner of power who was mentioned by
the killers, has he been questioned?
“Where is the call log of that former
commissioner as communicated with the
killers? Have they checked the discussions
between the Commissioner and the arrested
killers?
“They know the truth, but they want to cover a
lot of things. The Army announced that they
recovered the uniforms from the forest, was
there a polling unit in the forest?.”
The governor noted that the steps being
taken to blackmail the state government will
fail because the Rivers people .

Wike also appealed to journalists to always
defend the truth and speak out regularly
He said: “The survival of democracy to a large
extent depends on a vibrant media. Certain
things happening in the country must be made
public by the media.”
Recall that DSP Alkali and his orderly were
killed by suspected cultist at Omoku, Ogba/
Egbema/Ndoni local government area of
Rivers state during the December 10, 2016 re-
run legislative elections.
The Nigerian Army later announced the
recovery of weapons and uniforms of the late
