The Rivers State Police Command has invited a former Secretary to the State Government (SSG) over an alleged plot to assassinate Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. The invitation comes amid claims that a purported assassination plan targeting Wike was leaked to authorities.

Security sources revealed that the ex-SSG has been asked to provide information and assist the police in clarifying the circumstances surrounding the alleged plot. Investigators are reportedly taking the matter seriously to ensure the safety of the FCT Minister and maintain peace in the state.

While details of the alleged plan remain undisclosed, the police stressed that no individual is above the law and that thorough investigations would be conducted before any conclusions are drawn. Authorities have appealed to the public to remain calm and avoid spreading unverified information.

This move forms part of ongoing security measures in Rivers State, where political tensions have occasionally escalated into threats against public figures. The police emphasized that any confirmed attempt to threaten lives would attract severe legal consequences.
