Suspended Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has lashed out at the Nigeria Police Force following a violent crackdown on demonstrators protesting against the recent state of emergency imposed in the state.
Fubara accused the police of operating with “double standards” after security forces fired teargas to disperse a crowd of mostly elderly women protesting in Ahoada East on Monday, while a pro-government rally in Port Harcourt proceeded without incident.
