The wife of the former Head of Rivers State Civil Service, Florence George Nwaeke, has raised concerns about her husband’s safety. She claims he was pressured to make damaging statements against the suspended governor, Siminalayi Fubara.

Her husband, who resigned from his position last week, alleged that Governor Fubara was involved in the 2023 bombing of the state House of Assembly complex and had plans to remove President Tinubu from office. However, Florence insists her husband was forced to make these claims.

In an emotional interview with Channels TV, Florence broke down in tears, revealing that she has been unable to contact her husband since he traveled from Rivers State to Abuja.

According to her, 

“When he got to Abuja, he called that he had landed. I said, ‘Thank God’. The next thing I saw this night (Friday night): people were calling me and said he got an interview. I said, ‘What interview? Interview for what?’ Not until I saw things flying on the internet that he granted an interview. What happened? I said, ‘That is not my husband. That is not my husband.’

So I sent him a message. I said, ‘Are you under duress?’ I sent him a message. I said, ‘Have they kidnapped you? Talk to me now. Why are you not talking to me?’.

Oh, Jesus, help me. Nigerians, help me. My husband is in trouble. My husband is in trouble. My husband is in trouble. My husband is in trouble. Look at the message I sent to him. See the message I sent to him.

Governor, help me. My husband is in trouble,” she said. “He is in trouble,” she said, claiming the husband resigned under duress.

She believes he resigned due to pressure from certain individuals who wanted him to sign documents that could incriminate Governor Fubara.

“So, he said he would resign. Instead of this wahala (problems) let him leave them. He now wrote his resignation (letter).”

Florence is calling for urgent intervention, fearing that her husband is in danger.
