Reports emerging from Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State, indicate that Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his family are currently trapped in the Government House. This development comes amid the deployment of military personnel to the state, following President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency.
Eyewitnesses claim that soldiers have blocked all exits from the Government House, effectively restricting the movement of the governor and his family. The situation has sparked concerns about the safety and well-being of those trapped inside.
The deployment of military personnel to Rivers State is part of the federal government’s efforts to restore order and stability in the state. The state of emergency was declared following a Supreme Court judgment that highlighted grave unconstitutional acts by Governor Fubara.
As the situation continues to unfold, there are growing calls for calm and restraint from all parties involved. The international community is also watching developments closely, with many expressing concerns about the potential implications for democracy and human rights in Nigeria.
The Nigerian government has yet to issue an official statement on the situation, but sources close to the presidency indicate that efforts are being made to resolve the crisis peacefully.
The people of Rivers State and the wider Nigerian public are eagerly awaiting further developments, as the situation remains fluid and uncertain.
