This information, revealed by a confidential source, claims that the two officials held a clandestine meeting to devise a strategy aimed at discrediting the ongoing protests.
The source, who remains anonymous due to security concerns, provided a detailed account of the alleged meeting. According to the informant, Wike and Igwe convened late at night to discuss measures to disrupt the protests that have persisted despite the government’ s attempts to quell them.
” Wike had a meeting in the night with my boss, the CP of FCT, and told him to stop the protest. He is angry that after all he did, the protesters still came to Abuja in their numbers, ” the source disclosed. ” He told the CP to be on the street today to cause mayhem. You people should not relent; continue in the fight for all of us; we are with you. ”
The allegations suggest that Wike and Igwe’ s plan involves provoking violence to make the protests appear as riots, thereby justifying a more severe crackdown. ” The CP has told us to be aggressive so that they can tag the protest as a riot. That is what they want to do today, ” the source added.
Further accusations were made against Commissioner Igwe, portraying him as a willing participant in the scheme against the protesters. The source criticized Igwe for purportedly allowing himself to be manipulated by Wike, allegedly to the detriment of the Nigerian people and the protesters’ cause. There are also claims that new armaments have been supplied to the police for use against demonstrators.
” Call out the CP of FCT, Benneth Igwe, and let him leave the protesters alone, ” the source urged, labeling him an ” evil man” collaborating with Wike. Additionally, the source accused Igwe of involvement in the arrest of protesters and a journalist, incidents that were reportedly denied by police authorities.
In a related accusation, the source claimed that Wike has a plot to frame Senator Ireti Kingibe. Allegedly, Wike plans to link Kingibe to a recent altercation in Maraba, where a group of individuals armed with cutlasses fought over money. The source asserted that Wike intends to falsely accuse Kingibe of sponsoring the attack to undermine her credibility and association with the protests.
” Wike has already plotted something on Senator Ireti. They want to go to Maraba, where some touts fought over money with cutlass, and say it was Ireti that sponsored them to attack protesters. The CP, Bennett Igwe, is helping him to achieve this, ” the source alleged.

The source implored the public to disseminate this information widely to prevent Wike from carrying out his plans against Kingibe and to ensure that the truth about the protests is known. ” Spread this information so that Wike can leave Ireti alone, ” the source emphasized, urging vigilance and continued protest.
These allegations, if substantiated, paint a disturbing picture of governmental manipulation and repression aimed at stifling democratic expression. As the situation develops, the public and relevant authorities will need to scrutinize these claims and take appropriate actions to safeguard the rights of the protesters and uphold justice.
The ongoing protests have drawn attention to various grievances within the FCT, and the response of the authorities will be closely watched both domestically and internationally.
The actions of Minister Wike and Commissioner Igwe, as alleged by the source, underscore the critical need for transparency and accountability in handling civil unrest and ensuring the protection of peaceful demonstrators.
