254

The Rivers State Police Command said on Friday that it is investigating the alleged kidnapping of a lawyer for the All Progressives Congress in the state of Dr Godswill Dike.

On Thursday, the Rivers chapter claimed that its lawyer was kidnapped inside the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters on Aba Road in Port Harcourt.

Police Public Relations Officer, Grace Iringe-Koko, disclosed this in a statement in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

Iringe-Koko said though no formal complaint has been made, the Commissioner of Police Okon Effiong, has ordered operatives of the Command to investigate claims by the APC that their lawyer was abducted after signing for and taking possession of the Certified True Copies of election documents.

The CP has promised that anyone found culpable would be made to face the wrath of the law.
