Joseph Mbu, is alleged to have had a controversial career as the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, has been removed from his post, a source at police headquarters in Abuja said.

The source said the commissioner is expected to leave his post at the end of this week. However, the source added that the police hierarchy has made no public announcement of Mr. Mbu’s removal.

ENTERTAINMENT: Mercy Johnson, Rukky Sanda Pays Surprise Visit To iROKOtv

Nollywood divas Mercy Johnson and Rukky Sanda spent almost the whole day with iROKOtv staff at their Lagos office in Anthony Village on January 31, 2014, Friday.
