Florence Nwaeke, the wife of former Rivers State Head of Service George Nwaeke, is seeking assistance in locating her husband after he stepped down, SAVANNAH NEWSNOW REPORTS.
Late Friday, she told journalists that she had been unable to reach him and expressed fears for his safety.
“When he got to Abuja, he called that he had landed. I said, ‘Thank God, ’” she said.
However, she said she later saw an online interview granted by her husband, which she found suspicious.
“I said, ‘That is not my husband. That is not my husband.’
“So I sent him a message. I said, ‘Are you under duress?’ I sent him a message. I said, ‘Have they kidnapped you? Talk to me now. Why are you not talking to me?’ This is the message I sent to him when I saw his interview online,” she said.
She added, “Oh, Jesus, help me. Nigerians, help me. My husband is in trouble. My husband is in trouble. My husband is in trouble. My husband is in trouble. Look at the message I sent to him. See the message I sent to him. I said, ‘Daddy, why? Were you in hostage?’ I said, ‘Why didn’t you talk to me?’ These are the messages I sent to him, but he didn’t reply to me. His numbers are not going through. Nigerians, help me! Nigerians, help me!”
Nwaeke had previously alleged that suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara planned to support Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, for the 2027 presidency and that he was encouraging militants to attack oil facilities.
Additionally, Nwaeke accused Fubara of orchestrating the bombing of the State House of Assembly in 2023 to prevent his impeachment.
In an interview with Channels TV, she raised concerns and also made a direct appeal to Fubara, urging him to assist her husband.
“Governor, help me. My husband is in trouble. He is in trouble,” the woman said, claiming the husband resigned under duress.
However, Fubara dismissed the allegations, saying Nwaeke had been compromised.
“The truth is that Dr. Nwaeke has been compromised, and whatever he is saying is only aimed at fulfilling his promise to those who may have paid or coerced him to lie against me,” Fubara said in a statement he issued late Friday.
