The chief press secretary to the governor, Mr David Iyofor, in a short message service (SMS) sent to LEADERSHIP Friday, wrote:

“This evening, gunshots were fired at Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi in Rumuolumeni, Obio Akpor, by PDP thugs.
“Obio Akpor is the home of PDP Rivers’ guber candidate Nyesom Wike. The thugs attacked the governor and his entourage with bottles, stones and various dangerous objects. Then gunshots were fired at the governor. For now, two APC supporters are confirmed injured and bloodied.

“When the governor was leaving the community, a bonfire was set up on the road to prevent him from leaving. More gunshots were fired at his convoy.”
