As the political chaos in Rivers State edges towards the cliff, about 30 soldiers guarding the Governor's lodge have been summarily withdrawn by the Brigade Commander in charge of the Joint Task Force (JTF) in Port Harcourt at the orders of President Goodluck Jonathan.
It was learnt that the soldiers took with them two Armored Personnel Cars (APC) usually stationed at Government House.
A military source said that the removal of the soldiers was ordered from Abuja. He warned that things might get bloodier in the state capital with the JTF gone from Government House leaving the security of the governor and his aides in the hands of a few police officers and State Security Services agents.
An eyewitness said a new detachment of soldiers came briefly to inspect a third APC that seems disabled.

It could not be confirmed that the soldiers that were removed are being detained and interrogated at the barracks.
