Rivers State’s former Head of Service, George Nwaeke has assured the public that he is safe and currently lodging at the Transcorp Hilton hotel in Abuja.
His clarification comes following an outcry by his wife, Florence, late Friday, that she did not know the whereabouts of her husband after he resigned from service.
Nwaeke’s distraught wife told journalists she was afraid for her husband’s life and had no idea where he was.
However, in a recorded video on Saturday morning, Nwaeke said he is currently in Abuja to turn himself in to authorities.
Nwaeke had levelled several allegations against the Rivers Governor, Siminalayi Fubara. Among other things, he accused the governor of planning to support Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed in the 2027 presidential election and also meeting with and encouraging militants to carry out attacks on oil facilities and other assets.
Meanwhile, Governor Fubara in a response to Nwaeke’s claims suggested he may have been paid or coerced to have made the “false” claims against him.
The governor backed his position with screenshots of chats said to have been between Nwaeke and his Chief of Staff, Ederson Ehie.
