The 2023 governorship candidate of the National Rescue Movement in Rivers State, Sobomabo Jackrich has been arrested.

Jackrich, an ex-Niger Delta agitator was arrested by men dressed in military camouflage from his residence in Usokun in Degema Local Government Area of the state, reports Channels TV.

According to sources familiar with the situation, the arrest, allegedly conducted in a commando fashion around 2: 00 am today, resulted in the death of two of his aides.

His followers had previously claimed that the Ex-agitator and politician was abducted by men dressed in military attire.

However, the Rivers State Police refuted the claim.

Police Public Relations Officer, Grace Iringe-Koko, stated that “He was not kidnapped but arrested by security personnel, though not by the police.”

She did not, however, specify which security agency apprehended him or if any casualties occurred during the operation.
