The Police team,
currently investigating some emerging issues during the rerun elections in
Rivers State on December 10, will this week write telecommunication firms for
the call data of Governor Nyesom Wike.
Wike, in alleged telephone calls before the
rerun polls in the state, instructed some electoral officials and other aides
to rig the election.
An audio clip, alleged to be the recording of
such conversation, has since been released, where a voice, said to belong to
Wike, issued various directives, including a death threat.
It was gathered in
Abuja that the investigation team, set up by the Inspector-General of Police,
Ibrahim Idris, would demand the details of Wike’s calls before, during and
shortly after the election.
A senior police source said the detectives would
carry out forensic analysis on the governor’s incoming and outgoing telephone
calls, including the name of the callers, the numbers dialled, the time, date
and duration of the calls, as well as SMS.
“Obtaining the CDR shouldn’t pose any
difficulty to the investigators because the telecom firms have it on their
exchange. ‘‘Forensic analysis of the audio tapes would be matched with the call
logs, which will also assist in identifying the voice prints of the suspects,”
a source said.
