The Nigeria Police Force has officially summoned Tammy Wenike Danagogo, the former Secretary to the Rivers State Government, to its Abuja headquarters. This high-profile invitation is part of an intensifying investigation into an alleged plot targeting the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. The move was initiated by the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) following the circulation of a leaked audio recording that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape.
According to a formal letter dated January 9 from the Commissioner of Police in charge of the IRT, Danagogo is required to report to the Guzape office this Thursday, January 15. The police have clarified that his presence is necessary to provide personal clarification on several pressing issues uncovered during their ongoing probe. Details made available to Zoyols Blog suggest that the investigation has reached a critical stage, with detectives working around the clock to verify the authenticity of the claims made in the viral audio.
This development follows the recent arrest of Dr. Tombari Joseph Gbeneol, a well-known Port Harcourt medical doctor and the founder of Life Forte Chapel Church. Security insiders reveal that Gbeneol was taken into custody after investigators intercepted a phone conversation allegedly between him and Danagogo. The contents of the discussion reportedly involved chilling details, including the potential recruitment of foreign nationals and mentions of seeking financial assistance for the operation.
Describing the situation as a major national security matter, senior officials noted that the weight of the intelligence necessitated immediate intervention. The Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed earlier this week that one suspect is already in custody and emphasized that the investigation remains very much active. While the invitation letter to Danagogo was phrased as a fact-finding mission under the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, the underlying tension surrounding the case is undeniable.
As a prominent ally of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Danagogo’s involvement adds a significant layer of political weight to the case. The authorities have maintained that they are following due process to identify everyone linked to the alleged conspiracy. As the Thursday deadline approaches, the public is watching closely to see how this investigation unfolds and what it means for the stability of Rivers State’s political climate.
