The Nigerian Police in Rivers State on Wednesday declared the Majority Leader of the state House of Assembly, Mr. Chidi Lloyd, wanted in connection with the 9 July fracas in the assembly.
The announcement came on the heels of another by the Police Headquarters in Abuja, which invited, Lloyd, the Aide-De-Camp (ADC) to the Rivers State Governor, Ag.ASP Debeware-Semeikumo, and the Chief Security Officer (CSO) to the Governor, Tony Iwelu for interrogation over their roles “as seen in the video clips in circulation”.


“In the video clips, a man carrying a mace and another in Police Uniform as well as other security details were seen conducting themselves in a questionable and uncomplimentary manner. The invitation therefore seeks to obtain further details that will assist proper investigation into the matter,” said the statement signed by CSP Frank Mba, spokesman of the police high command. The Police Public Relations Officer of the Rivers State command (PPRO), Mrs. Angela Agabe, disclosed in Port Harcourt that Lloyd, the lawmaker representing Emohua constituency in the assembly, was wanted over alleged conspiracy, attempted murder, wounding, and wilful damage. The police in the state is under the watch of Joseph Mbu, who has been criticized for his brazen partisanship in the crisis.

She said that the lawmaker was last seen in the assembly on 9 July, and that he failed to respond to police invitation, which she explained, elapsed on 15 July. “The Rivers State Police Command has declared wanted Honourable Chidi Lloyd, a native of Emohua, in Emohua Local Government Area, Rivers State. “About 37 years of age, he is the Majority Leader of the Rivers House of Assembly. He was involved in a case of conspiracy, attempted murder, wounding, and willful damage on the 9th of July 2013. “The crime is being investigated by a special team from the Inspector-General of Police in collaboration with the state Criminal Investigation Division, Rivers command. “He was last seen at the Rivers State House of Assembly on the 9th of July 2013. All efforts to trace his whereabouts have so far proved abortive.“

Agabe urged the people of the state to give the police useful information that could lead to the arrest of Lloyd and assist the command to fight crime in the state.
She said the command was determined to check crime and protect lives and property of the people in the state.
