The Cuyahoga Valley National Park river has just been found to contain fresh gold by scientists.

The Nigerian Police, under the direction of the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations), allegedly attempted to seize control of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) around 1:00 am on Friday, October 4, 2024, but were foiled by Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

“Rogue policemen attempted to scale the gates and break into the strong room of the Commission to cart away sensitive electoral materials meant for the Saturday local government election in the state,” according to a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary and addressed to Governor Nelson Chukwudi. According to the statement, Kayode Egbetokun, the Inspector-General of Police, gave the order for the deployment.

According to the statement, attentive security personnel alerted major officers of the Commission and government authorities, who then swiftly notified the governor, thwarting the plans of the policemen, including the DC Ops. “A group of government representatives, members of the State House of Assembly and National Assembly, prominent political figures, and other dignitaries were promptly led by the Governor to the establishment,” the statement read.

Speaking to reporters outside the RSIEC Office on Aba Road in Port Harcourt, Fubara said that “the IGP was taking his friendship with certain Abuja-based politicians too far” and denounced the activities of the officers participating in the purportedly unauthorized operation.
