Rivers Under Siege

Port Harcourt Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi yesterday said all security commanders in state have stopped relating with him for about two months now. He told visiting Senate Committee on State and local Government administration investigating the crisis in the State that the Government and people of the State are under siege, and he is fearing for the worst. "We are under siege here. For two months now we have not met with security men. Security Commanders in the State don`t come to me any longer. They are either scared or they don`t deliberately want to see me. They withdrew soldiers attached to me yesterday and this morning they withdrawn the APC attached to Government house," he said.
