Police Prevent Governor Amaechi From Entering Government House In Port Harcourt

A police detachment in Port Harcourt has
prevented the convoy of the Rivers State
governor, Rotimi Amaechi from using one of the
two entrances to the government house earlier
today.
The governor's convoy was stopped as it made
its way through the Forces road entrance to
the governor's lodge by four truck loads of
policemen led by several senior officers. An
argument ensued between the policemen and
the governor's aides as they claimed they were
acting on orders from above.
The governor later came down to speak with the
police officers who promised to extract a
reversal of the order from their superiors in
Abuja. The governor's convoy had to wait for
45 minutes before finally detouring to take the
Azikiwe road entrance to to the government
house.
