Former Head of the Rivers State Civil Service, George Nwaeke, has accused suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara of orchestrating the bombing of the state House of Assembly complex in 2023 to prevent his impeachment by lawmakers loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Nwaeke, who recently resigned as Head of Service, made this known at a news briefing.

He confirmed that he saw a bag of money being handed over to a former leader of the Assembly, who later became Fubara’s Chief of Staff, Edison Ehie, to attack the Assembly Complex along Moscow Road, Port Harcourt.
Nwaeke further mentioned that he resigned voluntarily, countering speculations that he was sacked or pressured to leave.
He also claimed that Fubara had commented about using the Ijaw people to influence Nigeria’s presidency, referencing control over oil pipelines and potential disruptions.
Reacting to this, Fubara denied the allegations leveled against him, asking Nigerians to disregard them while labeling the allegation as laughable.
