Suspected political thugs disrupted the All Progressives Congress rally in the Umunachi community in Omuma Local Government Area of Rivers State on Monday morning.
The situation caused panic in the community, with some natives scampering for safety, but the rally was eventually held after the party paid a courtesy call on Omuma’s monarch at his palace.
Speaking on the incident, the APC chairman in Omuma LGA, Onyekachi Ojiegbe said the attack was to scare away APC members from campaigning. He stated, “What happened here today was an eyesore. Since last night, we have been guarding the equipment with some security agencies that came with us. “However, around 5.25am, a group of people drove in three Hilux and two Government House police regalia.
“They shot sporadically in the air to disperse our supporters and carted away two generators, vandalised my car beyond repair, and also vandalised the tactical team vehicle of the Area Command, Oyigbo.
