Force spokesman, Frank Mba, who confirmed that the charges had been filed against the majority leader on Monday, said the police would go ahead to prove its case against him.
According to Mba, the six-count charge bordered on conspiracy, attempted murder, causing bodily harm and act intended to cause grievous harm.
Mba added that all the charges were filed under the Rivers State Criminal Code.
When asked by the Nigerian Tribune on the alleged high handedness of the police, as reported by the media, Mba refuted the allegations, saying they were false and baseless.
According to him, detectives from the IGP’s office were polite, civil and professional in dealing with Chief Lloyd, when he was being interrogated at the Force Headquarters
