A group of suspected political thugs on Saturday attacked
members of the All Progressives Congress [APC], who were setting up equipment
and canopies for a scheduled political rally, the APC chairman in Okrika, in
Rivers State.
In a statement entitled “Again, the PDP-led Federal
Government attacks the people of Okrika” and emailed to an online news portal,
Mr. Asifamaka said his party members were shot at and chased away as they
readied the venue of a scheduled rally.
Mr. Asifamaka said, “In the wee hours of the morning of
Saturday 24, 2015 at about 3:45am some armed youth started shooting at the venue
of the APC governorship rally at National School field, Okrika.
“Those setting up the sound system and the podium were
forced to flee for their lives. At about 4am they started shooting explosives
into the arena and destroyed the podium, sound equipment and some canopies.
“Okrika is the home of Nigeria’s First Lady Mrs Patience
Jonathan. She was present and held the PDP governorship rally at the same venue
on Thursday January 22, 2015.
