Samuel Nwanosike, the embattled former Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area, has been seen wearing a bulletproof vest in a recent photograph. The image has sparked concerns about the safety of the former chairman, who has refused to vacate office despite the expiration of his tenure. Nwanosike has accused the Rivers State Governor and his Chief of Staff of using gunmen to break into local government secretariats, and has vowed to remain in the council secretariat until the Appeal Court gives its judgement on the status of the 25 members of the State House of Assembly.”
