Palpable tension gripped residents of Isiokpo community in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State on Friday following an alleged attack on some members of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
In a viral video, the ADC House of Assembly candidate for Ikwerre Local Government Area, Hon. Jeffrey Wobodo, was seen wounded.
DAILY POST gathered that Wobodo had convened a consultative meeting in Isiokpo ahead of his campaign activities when the incident occurred.
The gathering was reportedly disrupted by members of a local vigilante group and personnel of the Nigeria Police, as captured in a viral video.
Three party members, including Mr Confidence Amadi, Mr Chikezie Justice and Mr Isaiah Thomas, were arrested during the incident.
According to video clips making the rounds, some participants in the disrupted meeting alleged that they were injured and that their mobile phones were seized.
Although what triggered the incident is yet unknown, it may not be unconnected to allegations of cultism in the area.
Efforts by DAILY POST to reach the Rivers State Police Command for comment were unsuccessful as of press time.
