naijaloaded: As the next month’s general elections
gather momentum, there are strong
indications that the polls might not be
violent-free in Akwa Ibom State.
This followed Monday night clashes
involving supporters of the ruling
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and their
counterparts of the main opposition, All
Progressives Congress (APC), which one
person was feared killed and five others
injured.
The incident, it was gathered, occurred
late Monday night along the popular
‘Maitama’ Road leading into the Ewet
Housing Estate, Uyo.
It was learnt that the deceased, a
member of the APC, was defacing and
removing the campaign posters of the
PDP House of Representatives candidate
for Uyo Federal Constituency, Mr. Michael
Enyong, popularly called ‘Baba Ntan’,
when the PDP supporters emerged from
their bus to accost him.
“Yes, the person was trying to remove
the posters of the PDP candidate, Baba
Ntan, and suddenly, the PDP supporters
came with their bus and arrested him.
He was heavily beaten and his head was
broken when he ran for his dear life into
Nteps’ Supermarket.
The security at the supermarket blocked
him from entering the place with his
blood soaked body”, Emem Bassey, an
eye witness told the incident told our
correspondent, adding that “he was
eventually pushed into the gutter by his
pursuers”.
In the reprisal attack that followed, he
stated that no fewer than five others
sustained various degrees of injuries.
Worried by the development, the
Commissioner for Police, Mr. Gabriel
Achong, has warned politicians to play
by the rules and urged them to restrain
their supporters from tampering with
the campaign posters of others for fear
of violence.
A statement by the Police Public
Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Etim Dickson
(DSP), on behalf of his boss, appealed to
the people to imbibe high ethical
standards during the election year and
warned against being used by
politicians as thugs as the election
approaches.
Dickson urged supporters of both
parties to refrain from removing or
destroying posters of their opponents
as this contradicts the electoral laws.
The police image maker therefore
warned that anybody caught defacing
or removing party posters would be
prosecuted.
