Indications emerged, yesterday, that leader of Rivers State House of Assembly, Chidi Lloyd, reported to Police headquarters in Abuja for interrogation because his attempt to flee the country through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos was foiled.

Lloyd reported to the police six days after he was summoned.

These details emerged as Vanguard gathered that the House leader may be arraigned for attempted murder among other charges, following the severity of attacks perpetrated on his injured House of Assembly colleague.

Lloyd allegedly the arrow-head of the team that battered a member of the Assembly as seen on television during the fracas in the house, was said to have travelled to Lagos after the IG’s summons, preparatory to jetting out of the country.

Police, however, got wind of the plan to escape through the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos and issued an alert both to the Airport Police Commissioner and border patrol teams, to arrest him if he showed up at any of the outposts.

Vanguard was told that the House leader got wind of the alert to arrest him at the airport or border and decided to report to the Force headquarters for interrogation.

The Police issued a release disclosing that Mr Chidi Lloyd, who reported on Tuesday, July 23, 2013, at Force Headquarters, was being interrogated in connection with the Rivers House of Assembly crisis.

The statement signed by CSP Frank Mba, Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, reads: “The House Leader of Rivers State House of Assembly, Chidi Llyod, on Tuesday reported at Force Headquarters, Abuja, in response to a summon earlier issued by the police.

“The Hon member who arrived Force headquarters at about 4 pm, in company of his lawyers, is currently helping Police investigators to unravel circumstances surrounding the crisis that occurred in the House of Assembly.

“The lawmaker has commendably so far, shown a high level of cooperation with police detectives.

Meanwhile, his interrogation is still ongoing.”

The statement recalled that the force had on July 17, 2013, summoned Llyod and two others to report to the Force CID to explain their roles in the current crisis in Rivers House of Assembly, especially, as shown in some video footages by the media.

It also stated the IG’s commendation of the people of Rivers State for the prevailing peace in the state, while assuring Nigerians that the police would do everything within its powers to ensure that justice was not only done but manifestly seen to be done.

According to the statement, the IG promised a quick, fair and unbiased investigation of the crisis.

The should handle that animal well. An agboro boy in state house is a treat to the lives of the responsible ones. After the interogation, the should dismise him and make him hean in one park in River. That Chidi is an agboro boy

They better becareful before the guy mace them oooo.

Stupid nigerian police..everytime they lie to amplify themselves, very soon they will tell me, chidi lloyd was already on a jet leaving nigeria and they scrambled F-15's to shoot him down.

Why should he run, when he has no case to answer? Any rubbish and he should go to court except the nigerian judiciary is now an extention of the presidency. All he did was within the chamber which guarantee him immunity yet he is being hunted but the goat, bipi was planking and punching people, bashing cars outside the assembly is visiting aso rock as "speaker of the rivers state house of assembly". Banana republic.

Honesty, this guy has became collateral damage. He may not get anything less than 20years imprisonment.

He wants to play with the presidency.

Useless man.

IT IS NOT AS YOU SAID OR THINK.
HE WILL BE CHARGED TO COURT.
HE COULD GET BAIL AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.
HE WILL BE GRANTED BAIL AS SOON AS SURETY IS AVAILABLE FOR HIM.
THE CASE WILL DRAG FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE AND END UP IN FUTILITY.

WAIT AND SEE.

Nigerians are always in hurry. Police said d investigation is still in progress we don't need to point finger on anybody yet. Oga IGP all we want is justice river crisis is beyond what anybody can swoop under d carpet.

O ti ko si pakute

But this is what Akpako master said on the other thread:

Lloyd, who was also captured on video attacking another lawmaker, Michael Chinda, with a mace, had claimed that he was receiving treatment for an injury he sustained during the fracas at an undisclosed hospital.

So was Akpako master lying?

that guy should be tried and sent to kirikiri

his shao khan style has landed him into trouble

Abeg na Alamesia brother him be? (pardon my spellings).

I believe Lloyd and Ameachi must have prepared a different version to the story that unfold @ the house so we all know what to expect abiiiii

Wit d way some nigerians are reasoning i dont think we need progress in naija, lets for once be standin for d truth. Wat happen in river assembly will all watch d video, we all know wat is going on, is only d weak people dat continue to reason backward.

The Nigerian police and lies. I am sure they are looking for excuse to lock lloyd up indefinitely instead of the 48hrs allowed by law. How did they come about the information he wants to flee the country since he was not seen near an airport or boarder. Do they possess a remote mind reader? If they have any evidence of him trying to flee, they should present in court during the bail application.It is wrong to detain him indefinitely illegally based on suspicions or conjectures.

Nwa Teacher: The should handle that animal well. An agboro boy in state house is a treat to the lives of the responsible ones. After the interogation, the should dismise him and make him hean in one park in River. That Chidi is an agboro boy

Are u sure you father is a teacher?

This guy should be a character in Mortal Combat who uses Mace

The guy must answer for his crime

IN REALITY.

(1) ATTEMPT TO MURDER IS A BAILABLE OFFENCE.
(2) THE ACCUSSED WILL PROVIDE A SURETY AND FINACIAL DEPOSIT.
(3) THE COURT TAKES OVER WHILE LEGAL FIREWORKS BEGIN.

IN REAL , HE MIGHT GET 1-2 YEAR JAIL AT MOST.
BUT THAT IS THE WORST CASE SCENARIO(LETS SAY 2% CHANCE).
WHILE THE CHANCES THAT HE WILL BE TOLD TO GO AND SIN NO MORE IS 98%.

JUST WAIT AND SEE. THIS IS NAIJERIYA.
