Rivers State New COS Escapes Arrest Over Murder Charges

RIVERS, (iexclusivenews) – In a stunning legal tug-of-war, Rivers State Chief of Staff, Edison Ehie, recently dodged a federal arrest warrant for his alleged role in the burning of the state assembly and the brutal murder of a police superintendent.

The twist? A local court intervened just in time, granting Ehie temporary reprieve and throwing this political drama into high gear.

Federal Heat Rises:

Just two days after his appointment, Ehie found himself facing seven fiery charges in the Federal High Court.

Accused of leading a terror raid on the assembly, the warrant painted him as a mastermind behind the arson and vandalism.

Local Court Throws a Lifeline:

Ehie, refusing to become a political bonfire, swiftly countered with a motion ex-parte in the Rivers State High Court.

The judge, acting as a legal acrobat, granted his plea, temporarily restraining any arrests or harassment by authorities.

While temporarily evading capture, Ehie’s name still casts a dark shadow over the investigation into the tragic death of Superintendent Bako Agbashim and five other police informants.

Their alleged murders add another layer of grim complexity to this already explosive case.

With February 6th set as the date for Ehie’s substantive hearing, all eyes are glued to Rivers State.

Will the local court shield him completely, or will the federal charges prevail?

One thing’s for sure: this legal showdown promises to be as fiery as the assembly blaze itself.
