CP MBU says he won't resign

Mbu
Rivers State Police Commissioner, Mr. Joseph Mbu, said that he was not prepared to resign and explained that he had no reason to surrender since he had been investigated and cleared by the police high command and the Police Service Commission..
Since April 2013, Rivers State has been in turmoil because of the political crisis rocking the state which led to some people calling for his resignation.
While responding to questions from the Chairman, Senate Committee on Police Affairs, Sena...tor Paulinus Igwe, who led members of his committee, including Senator Hadi Sirike, on a fact-finding mission to the state, said there is no reason to throw in the towel as a police officer. "I have been investigated by the Police High Command and the Police Service Commission, which are the two regulatory bodies for the police force and I have not been found wanting. So, there is no reason for me to resign from the police force if that is what you mean.” 
 On Sunday in Port Harcourt,a lawmaker representing Rivers South East, Senator Magnus Abe,was shot with a rubber bullet at a rally organised by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mbu, however, explained that the state government had applied to for a permit to organise an empowerment programme, but later organised an All Progressives Congress rally.
