Information just reaching our news room indicates that the FG has
withdrawn the security details of embattled Governor of Abia State, Dr.
Okezie Ikpeazu. A source at the Government House, Umuahia, told The
WHISTLER early afternoon that there is disarray amongst aides of the
governor as some of them may have deserted him. “I can tell you that the
situation here is very tense.
The governor is nowhere to be found when the policemen and DSS
operatives started leaving, meaning that they may have been withdrawn.
The Chief Security Officer to the governor said he was told by the
Government House police chief that it was orders from Abuja. “As of now,
I cannot say where the governor is because he left without most of us
here knowing where to and we have been unable to reach him,” the source
who asked not to be named because he was not permitted to speak,
explained. Ikpeazu was sacked from office by Justice Okon Abang of the
Federal High Court Abuja on Monday following a suit by his party man and
a governorship aspirant,
Mr. Uche Ogah, that Ikpeazu submitted fraudulent tax documents when
ran for the governorship on the platform of the Peoples Democratic
Party. On Thursday, the Ikpeazu’s woes deepened when the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC), issued a Certificate of Return to
Ogah claiming it was yet to receive a notice of appeal and stay of
execution from the embattled governor.
