The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State has accused the Chief of staff to Governor Nyesom Wike, Emeka Woke, of hijacking ballot boxes.
According to APC, Woke allegedly hijacked the ballot boxes with armed thugs in his community of Isiodu, Emohua LGA.
In a statement to DAILY POST on Saturday, the Rivers APC Publicity Secretary, Chris Finebone, also claimed that thugs from the PDP shot and disrupted elections in Abonnema.
DAILY POST can authoritatively report that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had confirmed that violence disrupted election in Akukutoru Local Government Area.
Finebone’s statement said, “Emeka Woke has hijacked with armed PDP thugs, ballot boxes in his home community of Isiodu, in Emohua LGA.
“The nonstop shooting in Akuku Toru LGA by PDP thugs continues. Three APC members and several soldiers reportedly shot.
“PDP thugs stormed unit 9, ward 1, Khana LGA and hijacked the electoral materials. Voting was already concluded and they were sorting the papers.
“The general elections that took place across the country did not happen in Akukutoru Local Government Area due to the massive shooting and general violence perpetrated by thugs and cultists deployed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to disrupt the election in the area.
“Trouble started when the gunmen started heavy shooting in parts of Abonnema from Friday night.
“Before morning, it became obvious that both INEC ad-hoc personnel, intending voters and election materials were at risk.
“Reports monitored by APC Situation Room revealed that the shooting by PDP thugs moved to other parts of Abonnema making it impossible for any form of voting process to take place.”
