Florence Nwaeke, the wife of the former Head of Service (HoS) of Rivers State, has expressed concern that she is unaware of her husband’s whereabouts following his resignation.
She informed journalists late Friday that she had no idea where her husband was and was terrified for his safety.
Mrs. Nwaeke appealed for assistance from Nigerians and others as she struggled with emotions and worries.
“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 occurred just hours after her husband accused Rivers Governor Siminalayi Fubara of a number of things in an exclusive interview.

In addition to meeting with and inciting terrorists to destroy oil facilities and other assets, he accused the governor of conspiring to back Bala Mohammed, the governor of Bauchi State, in the 2027 presidential election.
In another video, Mrs. Nwaeke urged Governor Fubara to step in and address her husband’s disappearance, alleging that he resigned under pressure.
