Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, alleged that the police fired at him while he was en route to inspect the State House of Assembly Complex, which had been engulfed in flames the previous night.
Fubara identified a high-ranking officer within the Rivers State Police Command as the individual in charge of the team dispatched to prevent his entry to the complex.
The governor made this revelation when speaking to a gathering of his supporters at the Government House entrance.
He furthermore rejected the state assembly’s move to deliver an impeachment notice to him.
He urged the lawmakers and anyone else to explicitly outline the charges against him.
The governor emphasized that he is untroubled by the prospect of impeachment but pledged to oppose an unfair procedure.
