Rivers Govt House Tension: Sole Administrator Accused of Looting Before Exit

Tension rises in Rivers State Government House as security personnel accuse outgoing Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok Ete Ibas, of attempting to loot state resources before the end of his tenure. A viral video shows officers protesting against Ibas, who was appointed by President Bola Tinubu in March 18 to resolve political crises in the state.

Ibas oversaw local government elections dominated by Governor Nyesom Wike's loyalists. His tenure officially ends today following reconciliation between Wike and his predecessor.

The situation highlights power struggles and concerns over potential mismanagement of state wealth.
