Wike also said that the people of the state allowed the security agencies to take over state facilities because of the visitors from other states.
Speaking at the Government House in Port Harcourt while inaugurating the Peace and Security Committee of the State, the governor explained that the state government would seek judicial interpretation to determine if the Federal Government was right to take laws into its hands.
Wike pointed out that security agencies should not think that the illegal invasion of the stadium and other government property was a dress rehearsal for the rigging of the forthcoming rerun elections in the state.
“I hope what you did that day is not what you plan to do during the rerun elections. We allowed it because we had visitors from outside the state. Nobody will allow you to rig elections in this state,” he said.
He, however, charged members of the Peace and Security Committee to work towards promoting security of lives and property within the ambit of the law.
The membership of the Peace and Security Committee inaugurated by the governor are the Commander of the NNS Pathfinder, the representative of the Nigerian Army, the Rivers State Police Commissioner, the Director of the DSS and the Comptroller of Prisons.
Others are the Comptroller of Customs, Sector Commander of Federal Road Safety Corps, Comptroller of Immigration, Commander of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and a representative of the State Traditional Council.
