An erstwhile Federal Commissioner for Information and South-South leader, Edwin Clark has petitioned the Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, to arrest and prosecute the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
In a letter to the IGP, read on Thursday during a press briefing at his Asokoro residence, Clark asked Egbetokun to arrest Wike over his threat to set fire in the states of governors of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The Ijaw leader said that the words of the former Rivers State governor marked a flagrant disrespect to the person of President Bola Tinubu, who appointed him.
He described Wike’s comments as a form of treason, capable of inciting violence in the country.
According to the elder statesman, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, and #EndBadGovernance protesters had been arrested for similar offences.
He insisted that the IGP must do the same with the FCT minister and get him to retract his statements.
