Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara on Friday morning stormed the state\u2019s Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) over an alleged attempt by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force to take over the facility ahead of the local government elections.<\/p>\n

The development occurred at about 1 am on Friday when the governor\u2019s camp were informed of the attempt by the police.<\/p>\n

According to a video clip, the policemen attempted to scale through the gates and strong room of the commission to allegedly cart away sensitive electoral materials meant for the conduct of Saturday\u2019s local government election in the State.<\/p>\n

Governor Fubara alongside his team, including government officials, federal and state lawmakers, top political stakeholders, and other leaders stormed the facility.<\/p>\n

At present, the Chief of Staff, the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, and State and National Assembly members, alongside other stakeholders, are manning the RSIEC office, to ensure that the policemen who came in two trucks and two Hilux vehicles do not return and that elections will hold as scheduled on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Efforts to reach the state police command were unsuccessful at the moment.<\/p>\n
