The Commissioner of Police in Rivers state, Olugbenga Adepoju has ordered the Chief Security Officer, Hector Ekeakita, and the Chief Of Staff to the Administrator of Ahoada East Local Government to report to Police headquarters in Port Harcourt over an alleged assault on the Administrator of the LGA, Goodluck Iheanachor.
In a press statement on Sunday, the Spokesperson for the Rivers Police Command, Grace Iringe Koko said the Command was deeply disturbed by the heinous attack on the Sole Administrator of Ahoada-East Local Government, Goodluck Iheanachor.
The Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Adepoju, according to the statement, gave the order after visiting the scene of the attack with heads of other sister security agencies.

The Commissioner of Police repeated the Command’s unwavering commitment to ensuring public peace and safety.
He asked the citizens of the State to remain calm, law-abiding, and cooperate with the authorities to maintain peace and order across the State.
You would recall that on Friday, 20 June, a group of hoodlums numbering about thirty, allegedly led by the Chief Security Officer (CSO), Hector Ekakita, and the Chief of Staff (COS) to the sole administrator, stormed the Council Secretariat and attacked him.
During the attack, the hoodlums assaulted the Sole Administrator, stole his mobile phones, forced him to sign a letter purporting his resignation, and carted away vital documents from his office.
The Administrator is currently undergoing medical treatment due to the injuries sustained during the violent attack.
