Controversial AIG Mbu ‘serial embarrassment’ to Nigeria Police — NLC

The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has launched a scathing attack on controversial police Assistant Inspector General, Joseph Mbu, after the officer ordered the arrest of a TV journalist for describing him as “controversial”.

Mr. Mbu, a former police commissioner in Rivers State and lately, Abuja, has drawn condemnations for clamping down on public protests, and government critics.

On Thursday, senior lawyers and civil society groups demanded his immediate dismissal over the arrest of Amaechi Anakwe of the AIT television.

In a separate statement Wednesday, the NLC warned the officer it will resist any attempt at muzzling the media and described him as a “serial embarrassment” to the police force.
