• Some injured All Progressives Congress members on their way to the hospital in Port Harcourt, Rivers State... on Tuesday.
AT least, one person was feared
killed and many others seriously injured when armed youths shot at
vehicles conveying supporters of the All Progressives Congress from
Asari-Toru and Khana Local Government Areas of Rivers State to the
inaugural presidential campaign of Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
The attacks were said to have occurred
at the same time (5.30am) as the party faithful made their way to the
Adokiye Amasiemaka Stadium in Omagwa, Ikwerre Local Government Area.
It was learnt that nobody died in the
attack by armed youths said to be thugs working for the Peoples
Democratic Party along the Bori-Saakpenwa Road in Bori, Khana LGA.
An eyewitness, who spoke with The PUNCH on the telephone , accused a former militant leader of being behind the attacks on the APC supporters.
The ex-militant is a member of the PDP from Gokana LGA.
A source said five of the victims who
were shot in Bori were rushed to a hospital in Port Harcourt where some
bullets were extracted from their bodies.
