Confusion ensued at the Mile one police station this morning 20th March , 2016 in Port Harcourt the Rivers state capital when the minister of transport, Rotimi Amaechi invaded the station with armed military men in an attempt to release one Mrs Ekwi Adebisa , an INEC collation officer that was arrested by the police for manipulating election results in favour of the APC at ward 10, PHALGA. 

Mrs Ekwi was arrested at Novotel Hotels, Port Harcourt where she was lodged by Rotimi Amaechi to enable them falsify results. Information of her clandestine acts led some of the electorates who tipped the police for her arrest. It was gathered that the PDP candidate for ward 10, Blessing Nsie gbe who once accused Amaechi of murdering her husband was allegedly leading with over 60 percent votes when Mrs Ekwi Adesina conspired to falsify the election results in favour of the APC.

The electorates who were at the collation centre raised an alarm and alerted the police who arrested her. On hearing of her arrest, Amaechi stormed the police station with a heavily armed squad of military men and used his federal might to  release the lady from the helpless and intimidated police into his custody. This was met with stiff resistance by the electorates who refused to leave the police station demanding that she be left with the police to face the full wrath of the law.
