CP Reverse State

The source said the commissioner is expected to leave his post at the end of this week.
However, the source added that the police hierarchy has made no public announcement of Mr. Mbu's removal.
The removal of the police commissioner, known to be a crony of Patience Jonathan, the wife of Nigeria's President
Goodluck Jonathan, is coming on the heels of threats by opposition party All Progressives Congress (APC) to block
all legislative proposals by Mr. Jonathan until the political crisis believed to be instigated in Rivers State by the
President and his wife is resolved.
A police source told SaharaReporters that, barring any last-minute interference by President Jonathan, Mr. Mbu will
be sent to the National Institute for Strategic Studies (NIPSS) in Kuru, Jos as a face-saving measure.
Mr. Mbu has been accused of working to undermine Governor Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers State, a political foe to Mr.
Jonathan. The controversial commissioner had often provided cover to members of the political opposition in Rivers
State who have sought to cause violence in the state by attempting to hijack the state assembly in an illicit bid to
impeach Mr. Amaechi.
In recent weeks, as he sensed his planned removal from Rivers State, Mr. Mbu had placed newspaper adverts in
newspaper to congratulate Nigeria's Inspector General of Police Muhammed Abubakar.
