Mrs Florence Nwaeke, the wife of the Rivers State former Head of Service, HoS, Dr. George Nwaeke, has raised alarm over her husband’s whereabouts after he tendered his resignation.
Late on Friday, she told journalists she was afraid for her husband’s life and had no idea where he was.
Mrs Nwaeke, who was battling with emotions and concern, called on Nigerians and others for help.

“When he got to Abuja, he called that he had landed. I said, ‘Thank God’.
“The next thing I saw this night: people were calling me and said he got an interview. I said, ‘What interview? Interview for what?’ Not until I saw things flying on the internet that he granted an interview. What happened? I said, ‘That is not my husband. That is not my husband.’
“So I sent him a message. I said, ‘Are you under duress?’ I sent him a message. I said, ‘Have they kidnapped you? Talk to me now. Why are you not talking to me?’ This is the message I sent to him when I saw his interview online.
“Oh, Jesus, help me. Nigerians, help me. My husband is in trouble. My husband is in trouble. My husband is in trouble. My husband is in trouble. Look at the message I sent to him. See the message I sent to him. I said, ‘Daddy, why? Were you in hostage?’ I said, ‘Why didn’t you talk to me?’ These are the messages I sent to him, but he didn’t reply to me. His numbers are not going through. Nigerians, help me! Nigerians, help me,” she said.
This came a few hours after her husband had given an exclusive interview in which he levelled several allegations against Rivers Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
Among other things, he accused the governor of planning to support Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed in the 2027 presidential election and also meeting with and encouraging militants to carry out attacks on oil facilities and other assets.
In another video, Mrs Nwaeke, called on Governor Fubara to intervene over her husband’s whereabouts, claiming that her husband resigned under duress.
She added that her husband was in trouble and was being forced to confess to things he knew nothing about and that he had resigned to avoid trouble.
Mrs Nwaeke, beyond raising the alarm in an interview with Channels TV, also made a call to Governor Fubara pleading with him to help her husband.
