Senator Magnus Abe, the governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party in Rivers State has escaped an assassination attempt, according to a report by Punch. It was gathered that the lawmaker was attacked by armed hoodlums in Rivers state.
Abe and his supporters were on their way to Mbiama in Ahoada West Local Government of the state when they were ambushed by armed men believed to be political thugs. The gunmen reportedly suddenly surfaced at Akinima, also in Ahoada West LGA and used vehicles to block the campaign train from further entering the area. Soon afterwards, the hoodlums started shooting sporadically, even as the security operatives attached to Abe tried to contain the situation.
An eyewitness said, “You know we went to Ahoada West today. While we were heading to Mbiama, the boundary between Rivers and Bayelsa states, somewhere at Akinima, a group of heavily armed youths intercepted us. Before you know it, they started shooting and most of us took to our heels.”
