Gov Wike declares House of Reps member wanted

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has declared a member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Farah Dagogo, wanted for alleged hiring of cultists to attack the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secretariat in Port Harcourt.

Dagogo represents Degema Bonny constituency at the National Assembly.

Wike, however, declared the federal lawmaker wanted via a statement issued on Wednesday by the Special Assistant to Governor on Media, Mr. Kelvin Ebiri.

The governor directed the Rivers State Police Command to arrest Dagogo, noting that the lawmaker allegedly hired cultists who stormed the PDP secretariat in Port Harcourt and disrupted the screening of aspirants for various elective positions.

“Already, some of the hoodlums hired by Farah Dagogo have been arrested and will be made to face the full wrath of the law,” Wike stated.
