Ex-militants Set Senator Magnus Abe’s Campaign Office on Fire
The campaign office of Senator Magnus Abe in Bori, Gokhana local government area of Rivers state has been reportedly set on fire by supporters of an ex-militant leader.
Vanguard reports that the office was set on fire after soldiers allegedly invaded the residence of the ex-militant leader in Yeghe.
According to community sources, soldiers razed down the residence of the ex-militant leader during the operation.
Earlier, the ex-militant leader had accused Senator Abe of using soldiers to harass him ahead of the rerun elections in the state, slated for March 19.
A top security source disclosed that there were massive troop redeployment to the communities.
When contacted, Senator Abe in a text message alleged that the PDP burnt the campaign office.
Abe, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the Rivers South East Senatorial District re-run election earlier accused Governor Nyesom Wike of not being sincere to the Ogoni people.
He said: “I heard Governor Nyesom Wike said I should not be re-elected. Somebody should go and tell him that whatever he is told him in Ikwerre land, our mother has also told us thesame here.
“If Wike loves Ogoni people, he should start with the ones working with him. Why did he suspend Fred Kpakol without even hearing from him .”
