Etche/ Omuma Federal Constituency: APC uses Nigerian Army to abduct PDP Accredited Agents

▪Move the PDP agents to Bori Camp where soldiers and APC leaders are torturing them

▪Soldiers plan to swap results

In a desperate bid to rig the Etche/ Omuma Federal Constituency elections, the Rivers APC on Saturday enlisted the 6 Division of the Nigerian Army, with the soldiers blatantly abducting PDP agents accredited by INEC to monitor the elections .

Scan News correspondents at Etche said that the soldiers abducted PDP Publicity Secretary and Agent, Mr Samuel Nwanosike and another agent, Rowland Sekibo. Also abducted was Mr Odiari Princewill, PDP Rivers West Senatorial Vice Chairman and PDP Agent.
Several other agents accredited by INEC were also arrested.

The soldiers acting as APC members danced around the PDP agents singing Hausa songs while manhandling them.

It was learnt that trouble started for the PDP agents when they insisted that INEC must take the election materials to polling units instead of the home of Ogbonna Nwuke, the APC Candidate for Etche/ Omuma Federal Constituency .

Their insistence led to an argument wherein the leader of the soldiers a lieutenant colonel placed a call to Port Harcourt. After his call, the Lieutenant Colonel ordered the abduction.

After their abduction, they were beaten and forced to sit on the floor. Thereafter, the soldiers holding their phones, snapped them repeatedly before taking them to Bori Camp.

At Bori Camp, APC leaders led by the Rivers APC Chairman, Davies Ikanya joined the soldiers to intimidate the PDP agents .

Security agencies have been conscripted by the APC to rig elections. The soldiers are struggling to help APC swap results.

Feelers from the field indicate that PDP have taken an early lead in the election.

This is how APC will be planning to rig the Governorship elections in a place like Anambra where nobody likes them
