On Monday, December 5, the security chief to the Rivers state governor was withdrawn by the inspector general of police.
The police had in statement said the governor’s security chief was withdrawn for gross misconduct against the rules of the Nigeria police force.
However, Wike has also asked the IGP to transfer the assistant commissioner of police in charge of operations in the state Steven Hasso and the commander of special anti-robbery squad Akin Fakorede for compromising security in Rivers state.

He further told the police boss that contrary to his claim, his chief security officer only stopped Hasso and the APC members from invading the Government House.
“The moment you touch my chief security officer, you are telling me that you are ready for me. As I sit, I am empty, I have no protection," the governor said.
Meanwhile, a senator in the state Magnus Abe has accused Wike of collaborating with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to train its officers for the forth coming Rivers state rerun election.
Abe in his allegation against the electoral body and the governor said the INEC officials were being trained in an obscure hotel in a neighbouring state, Abia.
He also called for all the parties participating in the Rivers re-run to be evenly and fairly treated.
