Punch reports
Following the free-for-all that took place in the chambers of the Rivers State House of Assembly, the state Police Command has declared the Majority Leader, Mr. Chidi Lloyd, wanted.
Lloyd was on Wednesday declared wanted for his involvement in a case of conspiracy, attempted murder, wounding and willful damage on Monday last week.
The lawmaker, representing Emohua State
Constituency, was caught in a video footage hitting a member of the
House of Assembly, Mr. Michael Chinda, several times with a mace during
the fracas in the Assembly.
Chinda, whose health condition became
worse after the incident, had since been flown abroad for proper medical
attention. He represents Obio/Akpor Constituency II in the State House
of Assembly.
The injured legislator was one of the
five lawmakers that attempted to impeach the Speaker of the State House
of Assembly, Mr. Otelemaba Amachree.
In a statement by the state Police
Public Relations, Mrs. Angela Agabe, the command explained that Lloyd
was declared wanted after he failed to honour the invitation of the
police, which elapsed on July 16, 2013.
“The Rivers State Police Command has
declared wanted one Honorable Chidi Lloyd (male); a native of Emohua
Local Government Area of Rivers State. He is the Majority Leader of the
Rivers State House of Assembly.
“He (Lloyd) was involved in a case of
conspiracy, attempted murder, wounding and willful damage on the 9th of
July, 2013,” the command’s statement read.
The crime, according to the statement,
is being investigated by a special team from the Inspector General of
Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, in collaboration with the State Criminal
Investigative Department, Rivers State Command.
It noted that the lawmaker was last seen
at the Rivers State House of Assembly on July 9, 2013 and called on any
person or group of persons with information of Lloyd’s whereabouts to
call 0808088890 or 08033277007.
Reacting to the development, the State
Peoples Democratic Party described police declaration of Lloyd wanted as
a welcome development.
A statement by the Special Adviser,
Media, to the State PDP Chairman, Mr. Jerry Needam, urged the Police to
also arrest and investigate the Aide-de-Camp and Chief Security Officer
to the state Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi.
However, the Deputy Speaker of the State
House of Assembly, Mr. Leyii Kwanee, expressed dissatisfaction with the
decision of the police to declare Lloyd wanted.
Kwanee, who spoke in a telephone interview with The PUNCH on Wednesday, said the fracas in the state House of Assembly was not the first.
The deputy speaker recalled that
lawmakers had fought in the National Assembly in the past without the
police declaring anybody wanted.
In a related development, the Force
Headquarters, Abuja, has summoned Lloyd; the ADC to the Rivers State
Governor, Debeware-Semeikumo; and the Chief Security Officer to the
Governor, Tony Iwelu, for interrogation.
They are to report to the Force Criminal
Investigation Department, Force Headquarters, Abuja, for interrogation
for their roles in the Assembly mayhem as seen in the video clips in
circulation, according to the police.
Lloyd is one of the members of the House loyal to the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
The PUNCH had exclusively
reported on Monday that Amaechi’s ADC had been summoned for
interrogation by the Force Headquarters for engaging in a brawl with a
member of the state assembly as captured in a video.
A statement by the Deputy Force Public
Relations Officer, Frank Mba, on Wednesday stated that the men were
invited to obtain further details that would assist proper investigation
into the matter.

As much as he was brave enough to disrupt the proceedings of the 5 anti Ameachi law makers that came to shake out the assembly, he took the laws into his hands, and he isn't above the law, BUT, same treatment should be given to the other 5 law makers that came with thugs and disrupted the assembly at first.
Initially I was only blaming Chidi Lloyd,till I saw the clip where Hon Bipi was narrating to his thugs how he and others attacked Chidi Lloyd and were punching him.
I guess that was what triggered this retaliation. I wished it was that Hon Bipi shouting Aro mate that he attacked.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
Mk una go him hauz go pick am jor!!! Wich one ♭ wanted???
4gt dx propaganda....,if ur lukin 4him go to his house. we r no longer kids.
Heartless man (chidi) really needs to face d law 4 his animalistic attitude.
Linda pls point of correction he is not a Law maker he is an Akpako master terry G's elder brother,very heartless thing..he should be held for some days pls.
Dis is democracy in nigeria
Massive fool! You beat somebody finish, you come go hospital occupy bed... Shameless he-goat! God punish you! Very evil and heartless and he's a father *smh* no respect for his family members
We were all blaming GEJ, but it is clear that The Governor of Rivers State surrounded himself with thugs,thank God for social media as Lloyd would have denied it ,seeing how he craftily checked himself into the hospital.
Even in the work place in Nigeria, that is how they bully you and go to management to lie, trying to make the innocent the villain.
Even if the Governor is being oppressed in his own state, the opposite is showed in the video that he is the bully,with the kind od people around him.
In all Nigerians please go and read Romans13:1 and respect those in Authority, if God put them there and they abuse it, God can still remove them like Abacha.
Mak we hear beta newz jo,the man de ph evn de club sef.police can jst piss sumbodi off,dey kw wea he is so y trouble foolish nigerianz that will be lookin fr him so 2b in d newz.aparko master de drink wine nw 4 em huse,police sey dem de find am.rubbish
mtsheew...
kirikiri prison will be better for him
I think his arrest was long overdue. His cohorts n dat ruthless policeman in camouflage should not go unpunished too. it was indeed a show of shame. But alas, after all d uproar in d house n. with d presidency, Amaechi is still standing. Oh! I love dat man.
Mr Kwanee I hope you can stand for what is right and not just talk cos you are a supporter of the present governor? Don't mistaken lies for loyalty cos what goes around comes around. How do you sit there and disagree with the warrant for Lloyd's arrest by citing that fights are not uncommon in the house? How many bloodied ones have been caught on tape?
Justice must be done and no one should be above the law. What are you teaching the young ones that look up to you eg your kids, that money talks and attempted murder can be swept under the carpet? People need to respect the law in Nigeria. It's the lack of this respect and lack of fear of its consequences that lead to the brutal murder of 4 innocent young men in ALUU.
"Nothing dey happen" what people say as they piss on the law. It's all become a joke.
I thank God that this IG doesn't take BS from anyone.
All na wash as oga on top is involve. I don't expect much justice from the unprofessional and corrupt court house. Is time we believe Nigeria has problem
especially at key sectors. Dishonesty is wounding everything.
Learn the secrets to burning fat and eating healthy
Chidi is a wicked cultist. He's HIV positive
But sincerly,why would dey declare him wanted,is this the first fraca in nigeria? Why not go to the national assembly and settle dispute from time to time,now you tell me jonathan do not know anything about this!
Declared wanted after 1week ba? They should check in his house, he MUST be there waiting on them to come get him. Hissss! Bloody idiots! I wonder if they don't feel ridiculous. #JayBeyBlu
Linda this is an absolute waste of government, the law establishing this country has in effect put the happening in the "Sacred Chambers" above the investigations of Nigerian Police. Why are suddenly interested in Rivers Fracas? Have they investigated all the fights in 90 percent of all the houses of assembly in Nigeria? Even ordinary local government legislative arms do engage themselves in advanced fisticuffs. Abeg they should tell us who is paying the piper and as such dictating the tune.
Its a shame what is going on in our country's in the name of politics particularly Rivers State in recent time. I can't just figure it out. I'm still in awe wondering what is actually going on in this country and how impunity has become the order of the day. Imagine another member of that house faulting the police for because he feels as fighting has become the order in the Rivers State Assembly, this case shouldn't be an exception... Big shame! If our Reps can't protect themselves, how would they protect us? God we are in your hands

Who cares
~D great anonymous!
Gud for him...murderer...aluu people
Who care's by 2mor we will not Hear of this matter again
It hapend b4 but nobody was arrested buh bcos jonathan nd amechi is avin problem now,dey will stop @ notin buh 2 destroy anytin dt has 2 do wt rivers state.
if dis will couni hw wiill 2015 be
Its a very welcomed idea, His act in that mayhem made America n China make irrelevant n dirty statements about Nigeria.
If the deputy speaker is not satisfied with Lloyd being declared wanted, then He has alot to say too. The reason why this is done is to avoid further misconducts in the house during any meeting.
He is an Amaechi man.
Amaechi is playing to the gallery.
I pity him big time.
That Lloyd of a tout and every other persons that fought in d assembly should be banned from holding any public office... And that stupid police man that aided d fight in d video should be sacked
E hen!, it has begun....they should also declare Bipi wanted too o, and for God's sake, let our president address the country on how unconstitutional it is for 5 members of the house to impeach a member and elect another in less than 10 minutes. Cheiii!
These translates to the kind of people in power. Chidi lloyd should be used as an escape goat, he desrves a jail term, as for the police officers they should be dismissed from the force and also do time.
This llyod guy sha! Badoooo.......
Na where story go end
NAIJA police una no sabi road to him house abi?????
Bunch of loons playing to gallery
Eh eh... Yawa don gas. Who will bend... The iron or the steel... I siddon dey look.
Is this man sane, at all? Hitting a fellow man with a mace. So mad people no longer stay in streets and psychiatric hospitals... They are now in government... Nigerians can vote shah
Are dis nigeria law makers, dat are fighting like area boys, what law do dey want 2 make. Those imvolve should be met 2 face d law.
Barbaric acts should stop in Nigeria someone has to be used as a scapegoat. Mr spokesperson I'm referring to you.
You people shld get ur facts right nd stop talkn crap! STFU nd knw d oda side of d story b4 talkn
I was about to say saves him right to Llyod until I saw your comment Bonario, where did u see the clip pls?
This is very stupid of the police force. You declare only one person wanted, when Evans Bipi is roaming free. Evans started the fracas and because he is protected by HIS JESUS ON EARTH (Patience Jonathan) the police won't even call him out. BUNCH OF COWARDS
Its just a game called politics,This whole thing is a propaganda,they are toiling with the massess head.I bet once the issue Ameach ihas with Obio Akpor is resolved sanity would be restored to the state. To the extent they make us believe he has a problem with the president(how can)The problem he has is with his wife.
About time!
Yes Bonario is right d Video was shown on Ait 2days ago with Deji360 and I got to know what really happened,Evans Bipi is also a tout,Chidi and Amachree were attacked by Evans earlier.Meanwhile let us stop looking from one side try to get facts before concluding.Evans Bipi kept on boasting on how he blew chidi and co.Moreso he was using cultist slangs despite the fact Tele Ikuru d Dep.gov asked him to chill.
D actions of d 5 member could ve been challenged in a constitutional manner,rather than d gov nd him men showing dat level of non tolerance from opposing views.i don't see ant reasons why d gov show ve invaded d assembly,if armed robber were operating would he ve personally gone to face them with his security aides?i think d gov should calm down,and know dat in democracy there will always be opposing views.he should learn to be tolerant
U follow am go do HIV test? How sure r u dat he's HIV positive?
Its funny how people who have no idea about the whole situation are the ones commenting...
If you have been following this case, you would have seen on AIT when Evans Bibi was proud and narrating how him and his thug were beating Chidi Llyod.. Nobody has even asked if that was the real mace... The real mace is silver in color and is very heavy...
Did anybody see the full clip of how 5 members claimed to have impeached the Speaker of the House...
Chidi Lloyd acted out of the beating he received previously... as he saw that the police men had come to beat the thugs he wanted his own fair share... I don't accept that he hit some one.. but c'mon if you were hit with a tripod stand and had your chance to retaliate, won't you do the same?
Lawmaker?? Or u mean agbero??

OMG! I can't stop laughing. what has HIV got to do wit dis case. so funny.
What I have a problem with is the lawmaker being 'flown abroad for adequate medical attention'. What arrant nonsense. Are there no hospitals in Nigeria that can deal with trauma. If there are none, then he should DIE here in service of his country. Since he as a lawmaker had it in his power to pass laws that would have led to hospitals been built. In fact, I move that no politician should be allowed while serving in office to fly abroad for any sort of health related condition save a few that have only 1 or 2 specialist treatment centres in the world. If you want to go abroad for treatment, first resign your appointment. That way the politicians will finally put in place the structures that they were elected to develop
Even NTA Had the Full clips of what happened but they decided to air Chidi's side it was also on Youtube the last time I checked. So people should stop Judging when they don't know everything that happened.
Get your facts Right the Governor did not invade someone called him in to come and settle the dispute.

Linda, did you say lawmaker? Obviously!
His case is dt of attempted murder, cos he almost killed dt man. Other fracas has never been so brutal 2 d point of breaking someone's head. He has 2 face d law
Chidi Lloyd the Apkako Master....
In democracy is not new that some people may support you and other may opposesed you, nothing new to plan against bad rule, this goat calling Lloyd is law braker not law maker, he suppose to work at bus stop, not house of assembly. you know where his him go there and pick him joh.
Lynda it surprizes me when police are sayin his been declare wanted,his a smal boi he shld b fish out,they knw where he is,police shld stp foolin public.
Wicked chidi. Am sure thats how he battered his wife at home. But d wife kept mute. Hehe. Silent prayer answered openly for all to see.
Animals in human skin.
Wicked MAN! Men re evil o
okay_now listen up Lib ppl! 5 fools with their leader (who confessed the 1st Lady to be his jesus on earth), walks into their "hallowed chambers" with THUGs to impeach an elected house of assembly exco also suspending the majority of the house and no action is taken against them and anoda coward presiding over affairs in aso rock says he's practising rule of law and democracy! Pls let the police and the country's first family take a thousand seats while I shower so I can sleep well...mtscheeew!
U couldn't have said it better! No one esp lawmakers that dey are shuld be placed above d law. We all know dis wanted case wouldn't be if the state police commissioner doesn't have to answer to the president, Jonathan- who is truly the root of these happenings in the state.
For anybody that sing the praises of amaechi, you better read the below and have a rethink. This was what he recently signed into law. He is nothing but a criminal and a thug. All the illegal gotten wealth he made while he was a speaker and the one he has made so far as a governor is not enough, so he had to sign the below into law:
Yesterday, May 31, Gov. Rotimi Amaechi signed a bill which would basically ensure that he continues to enjoy the perks of the governor’s office after leaving the office. The bill, which is titled The Rivers State Governor and Deputy Governor Pensions and Fringe Benefits Bill 2012, is the brainchild of the executive and was forwarded from the Governor’s Office to the House of Representative for a speedy passage.
Despite protestations from pressure groups in the state, the Rivers State House of Assembly went ahead to pass the bill on the 22nd of May by an overwhelming majority. And the sweetened deal was finalised yesterday with Governor Amaechi’s assent.
Consequently, Amaechi and his deputy, Tele Ikuru are entitled upon exit from office to benefits worthy of Wall Street executives, including:
100 per cent of their basic salaries
Two choice houses in any area of their choice in Rivers State and Abuja.
Three cars, replaceable every three years.
300 per cent funding for any furniture of their choice.
20 per cent funding for utility, 10 per cent funding for entertainment and 10 per cent of same for houses of their choice.
Free medical expenses for him and his immediate family.
Security details that will include two officials of the State Security Service (SSS), one female officer of the same department and eight police officers for personal and domestic security.
Domestic staff including a cook, steward, gardener, and others. All the domestic staff, including drivers shall be pensionable.
In addition to the executive perquisites bill, other bills signed into law by the governor on Wednesday include the Rivers State Universal Basic Education Amendment Bill 2012, the Rivers State Senior Secondary Schools’ Board Bill 2012, the Rivers State House of Assembly Service Commission Amendment Bill 2012 and the Rivers State Water Sector Development Law 2012.
My brothers and sisters, we his type in government, we are doomed as a nation.
u guys are here blabin dis whole tin is politics and it has a script! Dey al no hw it wil end! Its just actin! Best actors are politicians!
This is why we knew it wasn't save 4 dis niger delta, beyelsa pple to be president. See d thuggery the so-called 1st lady is causing in a particular state just because d governor is against deir value? Like He has no right to speak his mind n be his own person? Isn't dat y it is a democratic government? This show of shame is just beyond me n has stooped to a new low under d Jonathan Administration. Can't wait 4 wat Asari Dokubo has 2 say next about of all dese! Perhaps, threathen us all again? We all watching!
As 4 Gov. Rotimi Amaechi, time 2 fish out d ALUU Criminals n put dem to justice. I hope its not d blood of d innocent quietly fighting n causing unrest in d state. #RIPALUU4 #RememberALUU4
We all saw the video. I am sure even his own children will un father him. He is lucky he's not in Lagos. Life imprisonment for am. Old man acting like area father
That guy must have been a cultist, see the way he handled the 'mace' LOL
this man should go to jail...
this man should go to jail...
Bestest comment ever! So many brainless youths on lib n in Nigeria as a whole. They won't reason and fight for a reasonable cause. All they knw is post senseless comments!
Dey should go to his ouse n pick his wife n kids, he wil come out. Anyway I luv my country Nigeria. D only free country in d world were u can fight,slutter,kidnap,kill and go Scot free. I luv Naija.
Wow!!! Now I understand d picture. Emuoha is d most notorious town in rivers state notable for rape cases, armed robbery, kidnapping and all unthinkable acts and for Chidi to represent them in the state house shows where he got his fighting and "cricketing" skills from.. He was probably one of dem b4 Amaechi turned him to a house member.
THE Mr BIPI GUY SHOULD ALSO BE ARRESTED FOR CHANTING CULT WAR PHRASES.
CALLING THE 1ST LADY UR JESUS ON EARTH, SEEKING TO PLEASE MAN INSTEAD OF GOD, DON'T LET THE LORD SHOW YOU WHO IS LORD.
THE LORD HAS THE POWER TO MAKE KINGS AND THE POWER TO STRIP THEM OF ALL THEIR POWERS AND POSSESSIONS. BE CAREFUL AND GIVE GLORY TO THE LORD ONLY, HE'S A JEALOUS GOD.
My question is this, y is he on a hospital bed i tot he was †Ñ’ξ actor of that movie i watched some few days ago (mayhem in river state). Now them don dey plan prt2 (street most wanted) i can't wait
Those 5 lawmakers shd equally be questioned for bringing in their thugs to cause trouble. Jonathan is taking it hard on this guy cos he's Amaechi's guy. Wot he did was definitely wrong but he should not be made the only scapegoat. Jonathan shd stop all this nonsense and be fair to all. This childishness should stop
I hope the policeman who was hitting d lawmaker has been declared wanted as well.
Ure So on point,the guy man D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲γ̲ houz D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲γ̲ chill.Another public display.
Errrm sorry sire, ᶥᵗˢ "Scape goat" and not "Escape goat"....
Una leav am now una say him D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ wanted,Ñ’☺ ÈŠ̝̊̅§ foolin Ñ’☺.smh
That they have been fighting like animals from a lower class and practicing attempted murder without repercursion DOES NOT JUSTIFY not allowing justice for the injured man. For all you know, he would have sustained severe head injuries from the pummeling he received on his head during that fracas. He deserves justice even, no matter the circumstances
This is apako vs ikapi. Nigerian Politicians... rots in the bone. See democracy!
Really,i dnt knw wht they mean by 'wanted',nd distrbn Nigerians 2 call numbers if they knw his whereabt.I believe they knw whr 2 get him if they really want to,niger police shld stop unnecessary pretense nd do their job...all this grammer they'r saying na 'wash'.
Exactly my thought.. All ds our leaders are professional rogues
Ur d heartless man, so wot happns to d bipi guy dat was asking kelechi nworgu to shoot d governor. Evrybody body including d one dats in coma. Shld b declared. Wantd
Which Chidi Lloyd are the declaring wanted??? Taaaa they should go and sleep! Why are they trying to deceive us!
Besides the constitution gives him immunity from prosecution. It says that ANYTHING that takes place inside the chambers is permissible. Even if he shot that man inside the chambers he wouldn't go to jail!
The police knows this, so y r dey tryin to pull wool over our eyes?
This guys in the name of democracy have sent many people to early grave. They went ahead and call themselves honorable instead of horrible. Any place they enter instead of people to run away, they give them standing ovation. It is our society that breed this criminals and give them good names. It is time the people stand up against this lawlessness, otherwise the future of this country is
bleak.
Fantastic!
