The gubernatorial election in the south
south region of Nigeria threatens to return Nigeria to the doorsteps of anarchy
and bloodshed in an unfolding conflict between the law enforcement agents of
Nigeria and the supposed thugs of the All Progressive Congress [APC].
This is
according to information available to 247ureports.com reveals that the security
agencies stationed in River State have begun execution of a broad campaign
against the activities of thugs employed by political parties to wreak havoc
against the gubernatorial election of April 11, 2015.
In the wake of
the campaign, the ancestral home of the State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Chibuike
Amaechi located in Ubima was raided and searched by the security agents who
were on the trail of alleged APC thugs who were tormenting a political
gathering of chieftains of the People Democratic Party [PDP].
The thugs were
believed to have escaped to the home of Governor Amaechi and were hiding inside
the compound. When security agents arrived the residence and sought to gain
entrance into the compound, according to security reports, the gateman delayed
the agents long enough for the thugs to escape through the rear of the
compound.
As they departed
from the residence of the Governor, information leaked that the thugs had been
relocated to the home of the chief of staff of the Amaechi administration, Mr.
Tony Okocha near runuigbo. The agents were quick to locate Okocha’s residence.
He was quickly arrested. He home and hotel were both searched thoroughly.
From Okocha’s
residence, the special security agents moved over to the residence of the
commission of agriculture, Mr. Emma Cinnda located at Location Road in Orazi
town in search for weapons supposed purchased for use by the APC thugs – this
was based on security intelligence. Mr. Emma Cinnda escaped before the Special
Forces arrived. He escaped arrest.
Following the
arrest and sweeping search conducted by the Special Forces, security has since
been beefed up in Ikwere local government area – with most of the attention
focused in Elele, Ubima, Isiokpo communities. Already, Special Forces have
reported exchange of gunfire with the APC thugs stationed in Rumuigbo.
Meanwhile, in a
related development, the All Progressive Congress Senator representing River
State East Senatorial district, Senator Magnus Abe has been reported to be on
the run. This is as information available to 247ureports.com indicates that the
military stationed in River State have launched a statewide hunt for the
Senator – over his supposed unlawful activities yesterday along Eleme road.
According to the solders, the Senator
along with APC thugs acting under his instructions, laid an ambushed along
Eleme road – and attacked workers of the Independent National Electoral
Commission [INEC] snatching away sensitive INEC materials being delivered to
the Local Government Areas of Tai, Gokana and Khana – to be used for the
gubernatorial and state assembly elections of April 11, 2015.
The military is
reported to have written the APC headquarters in Abuja seeking for the
whereabouts of the Senator. Calls and sms messages sent to Senator Magnus
Abe mobile phone were not responded to.
