Tension is brewing in Rivers State after soldiers and special forces
policemen traced deadly APC thugs to Governor Rotimi Amaechi’s country
home in Ubima, Ikwerre Local Government Area.
The suspected APC armed thugs were chased by the Special Forces from Elele were they were tormenting PDP elders who were in a meeting ahead of Saturday’s governorship election. They shot sporadically into the air, scaring residents away.
It was gathered that at the gate of the country home of Amaechi, the special forces were delayed by security details of the governor, which allowed the suspected APC armed thugs to escape through a rear exit.
Sources told Scan News that the special forces thereafter searched the governor’s home. It was gathered that the leader of the search team has since returned to Port Harcourt to file his report, while security has been built up in Elele, Ubima and Isiokpo towns.
In Port Harcourt, security agents engaged in gun fight with APC thugs around Rumuigbo. It was learnt that several of the APC thugs allegedly working for Amaechi's former Chief of Staff, Tony Okocha were captured.
The security forces went further to search the home of Tony Okocha and his hotel. Information reaching Scan News also indicate that the security forces searched the home of the State Commissioner for Agriculture, Mr Emma Chinda located at Location Road in Orazi suburb of the town.
Efforts to get the response of Chief Press Secretary to Governor Rotimi Amaechi, Mr David Iyofor proved abortive.
Security sources maintain that the search of the homes of the prominent APC leaders was due to security reports received on their relationship with armed thugs and militants.
On the heels of the state governorship election, several wealthy politicians are believed to have imported armed militants from neighbouring states.
