Okorocha’s Convoy Attacked By Thugs
17.06.2013, 13:28 Local
Governor Rochas Okorocha's convoy was attacked yesterday
in Oguta Council Area of the state by youths allegedly
recruited by a candidate for the rescheduled Imo House of
Assembly elections scheduled to hold next week.
It gathered that Governor Okorocha, who was in Awa community
in Oguta to drum up support for Chief Walter Uzonwanne, the
candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) for the
election slated for next week was on his way out of the
community when an opposition candidate was also on his way to
Awa community.
According to an eyewitness account, one of the outriders on the
Governor Okorocha convoy had knocked down one of the
motorcyclists on the campaign train of the candidate and that
instead of the security details on the governor's convoy to assist
the man, they descended on the hapless man and started beating
him.
It was learnt that the attitude of the governor's security men
angered the youths, who blocked the passage of the governor as
the youths reportedly descended on one of the outriders, who
was beaten to stupor by the irate youths and was dispossessed
him of his walkie-talkie.
"For several hours, the irate youths barricaded the road and
prevented the governor's convoy from continuing on the journey
while some of them were throwing sachet water and other
objects at the security operatives, who ordered them to vacate the
road."
It was further gathered that the situation could have degenerated
to bloodshed but for the prompt intervention of the governor,
who directed his security aides to handle the situation with
utmost care.
However, when contacted, the candidate described the allegation
as unfortunate, insisting that he had no powers to attack a
governor's convoy.
In his words: "I was going to Awa community to address my
supporters ahead of next week's election when I saw the
governor's convoy coming from the opposite direction. At first I
thought it was the Deputy Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha.
"One of the outriders knocked down one of the motorcycle riders
in my campaign train and the boy was seriously wounded and
instead of giving him first aid, the security men pounced on him
and began to beat him and this infuriated the youths and they
blocked the road and asked the governor to kill all of them."
