“We have directed our State Council to invite the police to do a thorough investigation. While we acknowledge a festering crisis in the Council, we would not want to prejudice the outcome of a police investigation by commenting further.
“We urge anybody with useful information on the incident to contact the Congress or the police.
“In furtherance of our own internal investigation, members of the State Administrative Council in the affected Council have been invited to Abuja.
In the interim, we appeal to our members in Rivers State to remain calm but vigilant.”
