The
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Rivers Police Command
have confirmed arsonists attack on the village home of the former House
of Assembly Leader in Akpabu, Emohua Local Government Area.
Lloyd
told NAN in Port Harcourt on Sunday, September 24, that his family is
in the peril because of his political beliefs and association.
He said that the unprovoked attack on his residence has consumed his personal belongings such as library and other valuables.
“I have tried to imagine what might have been the cause of this unwarranted attack but cannot readily think of any.
“The
only thing is, since the 2013 crises that engulfed the Rivers House of
Assembly in which I participated, I have been living in great awe,’’ the
ex-lawmaker said.
Lloyd said that he was
arrested, detained and charged to court for attempted murder but the
trial was discontinued by the then Attorney-General of Rivers, Mr Worgu Boms.
“When
the former attorney-general in the exercise of his constitutional
powers took over the prosecution, he discontinued the trial because the
police authorities then made it impracticable for trial to continue.
“This
was because the complainant approached the Port Harcourt Division of
the Federal High Court, seeking for an order to stop the police from
releasing the case file,’’ he alleged.
According to Lloyd, the current Rivers Attorney-General, Mr Chinwenwo Aguma, in May 2016, filed criminal information in the Rivers High Court, before Justice Adama Iyayi-Lamikaran, seeking to review the “nolle prosequi’’ entered by his predecessor.
“The
trial is currently going on with an interlocutory order to the police
to produce me to take plea even when no process was served on me.
“In
spite of the pendency of the matter at the Court of Appeal, Justice
Iyayi-Lamikaran, has refused to stay proceedings in the matter,’’ he
alleged.
Lloyd also alleged that on Sept. 21, at
about 10 a.m., Aguma was boasting in open court that they would produce
me without the police.
“Since the police, a
non-party in the matter had refused to produce me, they, the prosecution
will ensure my appearance in court to take plea their own way.
“Just
six hours later, my house was razed. I have painstakingly drawn this
analogy so it will be clear to the world who my tormentors are,’’ he
said.
