 Failed Anambra Coup: Raph Ige is Fall Guy as Ngige Demands Treason Trial for Coupists
Assisstant Inspector-General of Police
(AIG) Raphael Ige who led the police team that abducted Gov. Chris Ngige of Anambra State, Thursday, was yesterday
given the boot. Mr. Ige, who was originally due for retirement next month, was sent on compulsory retirement following
the approval of President Olusegun Obasanjo. But for Gov Ngige, the punishment is not strong enough. Mr. Ige, he
insisted yesterday, must be tried for treason with others who took part in the anarchy. Spokesperson for President
Obasanjo, Mrs Remi Oyo, in a brief statement yesterday said the President "has approved the compulsory retirement
of the AIG of Police Zone 9, Mr. Raphael Ige. Mr. Ige�s retirement is with effect from Monday, July 14, 2003.
The president was in Maputo, Mozambique when the governor was abducted. On his return, however, he ordered a full
investigation into the matter. And, reacting to the AIG�s retirement, Gov Ngige said he (the AIG) should rather
face treason charges. (Vanguard)
