State on Saturday after a group accused a police orderly attached to
the chairman of the council, Emeka Wogu, of shooting the billboard of
President Goodluck Jonathan.
The incident occurred days after the Transformation Ambassadors of
Nigeria's rally in Port Harcourt.
The members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state led by
Mr Wogu expressed their worries to reporters about what they called
the use of 'federal might' by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to
intimidate and harass supporters of the APC.
According to them, the latest victim is the Omuma Local Council
chairman, who claimed he was treated like a common criminal for the
misconduct of a police orderly on assignment with his wife.
He claimed that the suffered an ordeal in the hands of a PDP member of
the Rivers State House of Assembly, Kelechi Wogu.
Honourable Kelechi told Channels Television that he had no regrets for
his actions claiming that he only reported the matter to the police.
For him, it is the APC that is intimidating the PDP in the state and
not the other way round.
The Rivers State Commissioner of Police, confirmed the incident but
declined further comments.
Some of the PDP members are accusing the police of being partisan and
they had reiterated that, as the 2015 general elections approached the
challenge for the police was to enforce law and order without being
partisan, a situation that many hope will not be a tall order.
