The Command said the FSARS never accompanied the Chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Ojukaiye Flag Amachree,  to attack the factional APC Secretariat as alleged in various media reports by supporters of Senator Magnus Abe.

 

The Command through its Spokesman,  DSP Nnamdi Omoni,  issued the warning at its headquarters in Port-Harcourt today in reaction to the allegation made by Chidi Whioka, the member representing Ikwerre/Emohua federal constituency and other members of a faction All Progressives Congress, APC, loyal to Senator Magnus Abe whose factional Secretariat was attacked by hoodlums on Saturday August 11.
