The Director-General of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dakuku Peterside is in hot soup. The River State APC chieftain has been accused of trying to kill Governor Wike’s aide and he will soon face trial for alleged murder. The governor’s Special Assistant, Simeon Nwakaudu revealed that:
“Dakuku Peterside stormed the Collation Centre in Isiokpo with soldiers after which he hijacked the already collated results, which included the Ikwerre/Emohua Federal Constituency. Chief of Staff to Governor Wike, Engr Emeka Woke is a PDP collation agent for Emohua Local Government Area. Dakuku Peterside is from Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area and has no links with Ikwerre Local Government Area.
“After Dakuku snatched the results alongside Asita Asita and soldiers, they fled towards Port Harcourt. The PDP leaders of Ikwerre and Emohua Federal Constituency pursue them.
“At Omagwa near the airport, the soldiers withdrew leaving the SARS personnel from Abuja to take over the electoral theft operation. At Omagwa, Azubike Wanjoku attempted to murder the LGA Electoral Officer when he used his Armoured Sports Utility Vehicle to ram into the Electoral Officer’s car. The SARS personnel with Dakuku Peterside also opened fire on the rest of the people. The Electoral Officer was shot.
“It was from this point that Dakuku Peterside motorcade in neck-breaking speed drove towards Port Harcourt.
“Chief of Staff to Governor Wike, Engr Emeka Woke became a victim as the same SARS personnel with Dakuku Peterside opened fire on the vehicle of the Chief of Staff.”
