Statements made by Nyesom Wike has been blasted by Twitter users to be unbefitting of a governor and a lawyer.
Wike had on Wednesday in Ahoada narrated how members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB had their heads blown off despite their claims of possessing anti-bullet charms.
He warned youths of the area that such charms will not save them as their heads will also be blown off, their hands chopped off while their bodies will be left for vultures to be devoured.
But Twitter users have a problem with the rhetorics of Wike, especially as he is a lawyer.
Read their reactions.
I said this before and I’ll say it again, Gov Wike just doesn’t cut it right in a Democratic setting and as a lawyer. When we see what is wrong,let’s call it out before the same thing consumes us.
Another low 👎. https://t.co/UQUyd1xnWE

It is a crime against humanity when you kill anyone without court order, it is called extra judicial killing. Governor Wike of Rivers state have no legal right to take life without order of competent court . Should we interpret law to him? we are of the opinion he is a lawyer

Wike is naturally violent and callous.
He is a lawyer but his actions and words does not reflect that. His control freak and Tyranny characters is seriously affecting PDP negatively.
A lawyer who does understand or follow the rule of law is a Trash.— JΞSSICД 🗣️★★★ (@JessicaOgwatar) June 3, 2021
Wike is a lawyer who does not respect the law.
He has the garnishing of a dictator.

Wike is a lawyer who does not seem to appreciate the law. Are extra-judicial killings OK just because the targets are criminals? Which law empowers Wike, his government or any other government to kill people without a fair trial? https://t.co/2kKbHB6dWE

Wike's speech was careless. It should be absolutely condemned. We live in a country where jungle justice is prevalent, and innocent people have been caught up in the mix.
What was the point of #EndSars to some of you, if that Wike's speech was acceptable.

Here is Wike threatening extra judicial killings and boasting IPOB terrorists will be killed and eaten by vultures and their parents will never bury or see them again. The usual suspects will unlook because they fear Wike. This was just today o! pic.twitter.com/260qvLevz9

Wike's speech was careless and should be condemned. Extra judicial killings isn't a thing a lawyer governor should be boasting about, not even as warning to criminals
But pls don't try and use this to vindicate Buhari's genocidal threat. Don't be unfortunate abeg pic.twitter.com/MZYsEdRuHs
