Rivers: Coalition backs Fubara, raises alarm over ‘fake’ security allegations

by
  • The Coalition of Human Rights Monitoring Group dismissed allegations linking Governor Siminalayi Fubara to security issues in Rivers State, calling them politically motivated fabrications
  • The report found no financial or operational connections between Fubara’s administration and militant groups, instead pointing to political power struggles as the source of the allegations
  • The coalition urged an end to political hostilities, withdrawal of unlawful security deployments, and independent investigations while condemning inflammatory remarks by Minister Nyesom Wike

The coalition disputes allegations connecting Fubara to security challenges preceding the emergency.
