As the political chaos in
Rivers State edges towards the
cliff, about 30 soldiers
guarding the Governor's lodge
have been summarily withdrawn by
the Brigade Commander in charge
of the Joint Task Force (JTF)
in Port Harcourt at the orders
of President Goodluck Jonathan.
that the soldiers took with
them two Armored Personnel Cars
(APC) usually stationed at
Government House.
A military source told our
correspondent that the removal of
the soldiers was ordered from
Abuja. He warned that things
might get bloodier in the state
capital with the JTF gone from
Government House leaving the
security of the governor and
his aides in the hands of a
few police officers and State
Security Services agents.
An eyewitness said a new
detachment of soldiers came
briefly to inspect a third APC
that seems disabled.
Saharareporters could not
confirm further reports that the
soldiers that were removed are
being detained and interrogated
at the barracks.
