PDP's Jarvis-Archibong Reports Attacks During Calabar Tour
On Thursday, during a consultative tour in Calabar South Local Government Area of Cross River State, several supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were injured, and vehicles belonging to party members were damaged. PDP governorship candidate Sir Arthur Jarvis-Archibong stated that the first attack occurred at the palace of the Paramount Ruler, Etubom Nyong Edet Okon I, where gunmen disrupted a meeting and injured three individuals, who were subsequently hospitalized.
The violence escalated at the African Club along Calabar Road, where hoodlums allegedly shot at the party's convoy. Approximately 3,000 supporters attended the tour, and the PDP had notified the police in advance, expecting adequate security.
Jarvis-Archibong indicated that the party would petition the Inspector-General of Police and other security agencies regarding the incidents, warning that such attacks could undermine the democratic process. The Cross River State Police Command confirmed the incidents and stated that personnel had been deployed to the affected areas.
