The declaration was made public on Sunday through a statement by the Command’s spokesperson, SP Grace Iringe-Koko.
According to the police, the two men failed to respond to multiple invitations for questioning regarding the June 20th incident, during which they, alongside about 30 others, allegedly stormed Iheanachor’s office, physically assaulted him, stole official documents and property, and coerced him into signing a resignation letter under duress.
“Their failure to comply with previous public announcements and formal police invitations has led to this wanted declaration,” the statement said.
Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Disu, has ordered their immediate arrest and warned that anyone found hiding or assisting the suspects will be prosecuted.
Iringe-Koko added, “The Rivers State Police Command has declared the following individuals wanted for criminal conspiracy, theft, assault causing harm, and attempted murder linked to the brutal attack on Ahoada East LGA’s Sole Administrator, Hon. Goodluck Iheanachor.
“They are urged to turn themselves in at the State Police Headquarters on Moscow Road, Port Harcourt, without delay.”
The assaulted administrator, appointed by Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd.), is reportedly undergoing medical treatment for the injuries sustained during the attack.
The police also appealed to the public to provide any useful information about the suspects’ whereabouts via the State Headquarters or the designated hotlines.
