VIDEOS/PHOTOS: APC Ethiope West Congress Turns Violent, As Ibori’s Daughter Escapes Assassination Attempt; Scores Injured

APC Ethiope West Congress has turned violent, as Ibori’s daughter escapes an assassination attempt.

NewsRain Nigeria reports that the APC Ethiope West Local Government Area Congress took a terrible turn today as scores were attacked by gun-wielding thugs allegedly hired by old PDP members who moved to APC.

The congress was relocated from its original venue, the Oghara Township Stadium, to a new venue, Ovade, in the LGA, seemingly to disenfranchise original APC members.

Violence erupted when the Member representing Ethiope Federal Constituency, Rt Hon Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, daughter of the former Governor of Delta, H.E Chief James Onanefe Ibor, i arrived at the new venue in Ovade.

Apart from clear threats to her life by thugs allegedly sponsored by the Governor of Delta State, Rt Sheriff Oborevwori, and former Rep member Hon Ben Igbakpa.

Her supporters were attacked with dangerous weapons, as she was denied entrance to the venue.

There were several attempts on her life, which were foiled by her security details.

There had been intel that she would have been shot if she had set foot on the venue.

This is terrible at a time when there had been hopes of peace coming into the party with the recent meeting at Asaba; this recent happening shows peace is still far away.

Hon Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu has appealed for calm among APC supporters and old members amidst the unprovoked attack. Several injured individuals are receiving treatment at undisclosed hospitals.

There are still reports of targeted attacks on members of the Old APC. Calls have been made to security operatives to avert such attempts.
