The Assistant Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State, Mr. Amadein Tibiebi, has been arrested on charges of illegal possession of a firearm.
Mr. Tibiebi, a former militant and self-proclaimed general, is currently being held and interrogated by the police under state command.
This arrest is linked to an earlier incident in November 2021, when a man named Richard Okon was taken into custody for allegedly possessing firearms illegally at a wake-keeping event.
