Graphic photos: APC members shot dead in Rivers state, many arrested
Today’s presidential and National Assembly elections have turned out to be a big nightmare for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, with the members being killed, attacked and disenfranchised in various parts of the State.
“Armed militias working for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have intensified
their killing of APC members. Scores have already been killed and several
others marked for elimination. This morning in Kpite Town, Tai Ward 2 and other
areas of the State, five people were shot dead by PDP’s armed militia, and that
was before accreditation commenced,” Rivers APC Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu
Ikanya, said in a statement in Port Harcourt. Pictures of our killed members
are attached.
Lamenting his party’s ordeal, Ikanya said:
“It is sad that PDP and its collaborators are targeting APC strongholds and
chieftains for attacks and killings. To intimidate our people and contrary to
the court ruling forbidding the use of the Army in this election, there has
been a massive deployment of soldiers in the State with clear instruction to
shoot at sight any APC agent that refuses to comply with the evil plot of PDP
to write the results of the election at some designated areas of the State in
favour of PDP.”
Chief Ikanya gave the following specific horrifying
examples of APC’s travails:

Ascon Oil released this statement of their official Facebook page. Read below...
Ascon Oil Fire Outbreak: No Life Lost. Fire Contained
The fire incident at Ascon Oil filling station at Lekki Phase 1 this afternoon has been contained. Contrary to earlier speculations, the main building and the reservoirs are unaffected. The incident emanated from a discharge at the point of offloading product from a tanker, engulfing two tankers and some vehicles parked by the road side.
It was an accident compounded by the current fuel scarcity
in the country with ASCON OIL being one of the few stations with a
reliable steady supply even in times of scarcity. No life was lost to
the incident, the pumps are intact and emergency fire service officers
were already on site containing the flames as at the time of this
report.
ASCON OIL wishes to reaffirm its commitment to serving its
customers even in the face of accidents of this nature for which a
company of its pedigree is always prepared. Residents and passers-by
showed solidarity with the company as they contributed in no small way
to contain the flames.
