The Former Acting Chairman of the Community Development Committee (CDC) in Obelle community, Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State, Chief Anele has refuted the allegation made against him by the Emohua Council Chairman, Chidi Lylod, that he is the cause of the crisis in the community.
Chidi Lylod had on a radio programme in PortHarcourt on Wednesday accused Chief Anele of being responsible for the problems in Obelle when he was appointed as Acting CDC Chairman.
The Emohua Council Boss said he has made a personal compliant to the Rivers State Commissioner of Police that Chief Anele should be arrested but wondered why he has not been arrested.
Chief Anele who is also a retired Senior Police officer, while reacting to the allegation leveled against to our correspondent denied knowledge of the Emohua Council Boss claims.
He narrated that in January, 2022 he wrote a petition to the Commissioner of Police, AIG zone 16, Bayelsa State and also to the Council Boss informing them about the threat to his life by some Chiefs and OSPAC members, urging them to save his life but the Council Chairman remained mute and refused to take any action.
He further disclosed that on April 6, 2022 he went to the house of Lylod to tell him that his life is under threat but the Council Chairman did nothing.
Chief Anele urged the general public to disregard the allegation made against him by Emohua Council Chairman as it is baseless, false and unfounded.
