BREAKING: Military Steps In as State of Emergency Begins in Rivers [VIDEO]

The Nigerian Army is currently moving toward the Rivers State Government House to enforce President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency. 

Under the directive, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy Ngozi Odu, state assembly members, and other government appointees are set to step aside for six months. 

On Tuesday, Tinubu announced the suspension of Governor Fubara, his deputy, and members of the State House of Assembly, citing the escalating political crisis in the state. 

As part of the emergency measures, the president appointed Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (Rtd) as the Administrator to take charge of Rivers State during this period.
