Wikes House Not Attacked Or Burnt Police

PORT HARCOURT The Rivers State Police Command has dismissed reports that the Port Harcourt residence of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Chief Nyesom Wike, was attacked and set ablaze by hoodlums.

On Sunday night, some online media platforms claimed that Wikes residence was under siege and had been torched by unidentified individuals. However, in a statement issued on Monday, the Police Public Relations Officer, Superintendent Grace Iringe-Koko, described the reports as false and misleading.

Iringe-Koko stated: The attention of the Rivers State Police Command has been drawn to a misleading and malicious report circulating on various online media platforms, falsely claiming that riots have erupted in Rivers State, leading to the burning of the residence of the former Governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Nyesom Wike, along with other acts of violence.

She emphasized that the command had no record of such an incident and that the report was a deliberate attempt to incite unrest and spread fear.
