Tension in Rivers as ADC Candidate Attacked During Meeting
On Friday, a significant incident occurred in Isiokpo, Ikwerre Local Government Area, Rivers State, where Hon. Jeffrey Wobodo, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) House of Assembly candidate for the area, was allegedly attacked during a consultative meeting. The meeting was disrupted by members of a local vigilante group and personnel from the Nigeria Police, as shown in a viral video.
During the chaos, three ADC party members—Mr. Confidence Amadi, Mr. Chikezie Justice, and Mr. Isaiah Thomas—were arrested. Participants reported injuries and claimed their mobile phones were seized.
The exact cause of the disruption remains unclear, but it may be related to ongoing allegations of cultism in the region. Efforts to obtain comments from the Rivers State Police Command were unsuccessful as of the time of reporting.
