Ahead of the rerun election into the State and National Assembly Elections in Rivers State, the killing of opposition figures in the state has continued unabated.

Just 2 days ago, a chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Omoku, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of the state, Franklin Obi was murdered by some unidentified men.

The killing happened less than 48 hours after late Franklin Obi, APC Ward 4 Chairman in ONELGA conducted an APC congress in Omoku Thursday March 3, 2016.

Today Monday 7th March in Buguma, Asari-Toru LGA of Rivers State, the All Progressives Congress (APC), alleged that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) thugs working for the illegal Asari-Toru CTC, Sobomabo Jackrich, went on rampage and in the process killed and burnt Mr. Ofinjite Amachree, an APC Chieftain in Asari-Toru LGA. 

He was attacked by known PDP thugs, beaten to coma before setting him ablaze, APC alleges. His burnt corpse is attached herewith.

The APC wishes to also announce that same today, an APC member by name Tubotamuno Wariso was also attacked and beaten to death at Opobo Town, Opobo/Nkoro LGA by known PDP/Icelander cult boys. The dead corpse of Tubotamuno Wariso is also attached herewith.

It would be recalled that last Saturday by about 8pm, an APC Chieftain, Franklin Obi was killed and beheaded by assailants in his home. His wife and son were also killed. 

The APC says it believes that the present killings are part of the scare tactics of the PDP, something the state governor, Nyesom Wike  referred to after his Supreme Court victory.

“He had said that if the annulment of his election was upheld by the Supreme Court, so many people would have died in Rivers State.”

“We are rather surprised that even with the affirmation of his election by the Supreme Court, many people are already being killed by the PDP in Rivers State because of the national and state legislative rerun elections scheduled for March 19.”
