The Majority leader of the Rivers state House of Assembly, Hon. Chidi Lloyd, has been declared wanted by the Police in Rivers in connection with the crisis on July 9 in the Rivers assembly.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer of the command (PPRO), Mrs. Angela Agabe, Lloyd who represents Emohua constituency in the assembly, was wanted over alleged conspiracy, attempted murder, wounding, and willful damage. Agabe said that Lloyd was last seen in the assembly on July 9, and that he failed to respond to police invitation, which she explained, elapsed on July 15.
“The Rivers State Police Command has declared wanted, one honourable Chidi Lloyd, a native of Emohua, in Emohua Local Government Area, Rivers State.
“About 37 years of age, he is the Majority Leader of the Rivers House of Assembly. He was involved in a case of conspiracy, attempted murder, wounding, and willful damage on the 9th of July 2013.
“The crime is being investigated by a special team from the Inspector-General of Police in collaboration with the state Criminal Investigation Division, Rivers command.
“He was last seen at the Rivers State House of Assembly on the 9th of July 2013. All efforts to trace his whereabouts have so far proved abortive,” she said.
She urged Rivers people to provide useful information that could lead to the arrest of Lloyd and assist the command to fight crime in the state.
So far, of all the characters who played a role in the Rivers crisis, Lloyd is the only one who has been declared wanted. He was caught on camera pummelling a colleague with a mace, which left that colleague of his, Michael Chinda, bruised and in very bad shape. However, Lloyd was also the victim of a malicious attack by Evans Bipi, the lawmaker representing Ogu Bolo local government in the assembly. Bipi who is head of the 5 lawmakers that attempted to impeach the speaker on that fateful day has however not been invited by the police.
