Rivers State: Police Arrest PDP Governorship Aspirant

As directed by Governor Nyesom Wike, Rivers State police detained Farah Dagogo, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship hopeful in the state.

Mr. Dagogo is a federal legislator from Rivers State, representing the Degema/Bonny Federal Constituency.

According to his spokesperson, Ibrahim Lawal, he was detained while attending a screening of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial hopefuls in Port Harcourt.

“Some police officers arrested Mr Dagogo in the governorship screening hall and took him to an undisclosed location,” he claimed in his facebook post.

Governor Wike had previously declared Dagogo wanted for allegedly hiring thugs to attack PDP secretariat in Port Harcourt.

But Mr Dagogo, in his response, denied the allegation.

He instead accused Mr Wike of trying to prevent him from appearing before the party’s screening panel this Thursday.

The federal lawmaker had promised to appear before the state police command after the governorship screening if invited.
