‘PDP thugs’ attacked, injured APC members – Timipre Sylva

The candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the upcoming governorship election in Bayelsa, Timipre Sylva, claims that members of his party were attacked and injured by hoodlums suspected to be supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party.

His campaign group, Sylva/Igiri Campaign Organisation (SICO) urged the police in the state to investigate the development and arrest those behind the attack.

Director, SICO, Nathan Egba released a statement on Wednesday, saying the APC supporters were attacked due to the desperation of Governor Seriake Dickson.

“We call on the state Commissioner of Police to bring to book those PDP thugs who attacked and injured about four APC women and a driver of one of the evacuating trucks at Amarata and Tombia areas of Yenagoa, with one of the trucks set ablaze and another’s windscreen smashed.

“The Women and Youth wings of the Campaign Organization were on a rescue mission to help the PDP-led administration perform one if its statutory functions of clearing refuse at various dump sites when they were attacked.

“It is, therefore, unacceptable that apart from attacking the women, the PDP thugs burnt down one of our trucks at the Tombia dump site and smashed the windscreen of another truck at Amarata area of Yenagoa.

“It is regrettable that the Bayelsa State Government that should ordinarily protect its people had turned out to unleash terror on the citizens, because of the desperation of Governor Seriake Dickson to secure second term in office, which has clearly become a mirage.”
