The Rivers Police Command on Sunday denied allegations that its personnel shot and wounded a member of the National Assembly, Sen. Magnus Abe.
According to Ahmad Muhammad, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, (DSP), the police did not dispense any bullet while dispersing a rally by Save Rivers Movement on Sunday.
“I can confirm to you that Sen. Magnus Abe was not shot. The police did not expend any single bullet while dispersing the crowd.
“It is not true. The police did not shoot the senator, we only used minimum force to disperse the crowd at the venue of the rally,’’ he said.
Rivers Government had through a statement by Mrs Ibim Semenitari, the Commissioner for information and Communications alleged that Abe was shot by the police at the venue of the rally.
Dr Mckay Anyanwu, Medical Director of Krisany Hospital, where Abe was rushed to for treatment, told newsmen that the senator was brought to the hospital in a state of shock caused by low blood pressure.
“He was unable to talk or eat, and he was feeling restless as a result of traumatic shock.
“The implication is that there is haemorrhage; this is a blood trauma, it is not a sharp one,” he said.
