Wife of the Rivers State former Head of Service (HoS), Mrs Florence Nwaeke, has suggested that the allegations her husband, George Nwaeke, levelled against Governor Siminalayi Fubara were made under duress.
She made this known on Friday during an interview with journalists, where she also raised alarm that she does not know the whereabouts of her husband.
She went on to state that her husband’s life is in danger and called on Nigerians to help her.
Her comments came a few hours after her husband gave an exclusive interview in which he levelled several allegations against Gov Fubara.
Among other things, Nwaeke 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.

While speaking with reporters, Mrs Nwaeke said, “When he (her husband) 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.”
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 is being forced to confess to things he knows nothing about and that he 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.
