Beinmo Jonah Escapes Assassination Attempt by dammy13(m): 7:47am On Jan 08, 2016 |
Beinmo Jonah, a sibling of the Bayelsa state deputy governor, has reportedly escaped death by the whiskers. It was gathered that the incident occurred on Thursday, January 7, 2016, as thugs suspected to be working for the leading opposition party, the All Progressives Congress, (APC) invaded his residence in Ekeki, Yenagoa local government area of the state, leaving him unconscious. The suspected hoodlums suspected to be party thugs, as reliably stormed the area, brandishing dangerous weapons, including machetes, cudgels and headed straight for his residence. The entire area was thrown into panic, as the suspected thugs threatened to shoot, maim and kill anybody that may put up resistance or call security operatives. According to an eyewitness’s account,“The invaders overpowered his guard, broke the security lock of the gate and headed straight to the living room, where he was with members of his family and attacked him.” The overpowered and the defenceless Jonah was inflicted with machete cuts all over his body before they finally left. The operation, which lasted for close to two hours left the entire neighborhood in a state of pandemonium, as they were made to stay indoors. As at the time of filing this report, the victim whose head was heavily bandaged with machete cuts all over his body is receiving treatment at the government house clinic, Yenagoa. Also, efforts to get his comment on the incident proved abortive, as he was in a state of unconsciousness, with serious injuries on his head, neck and chest. The attack is coming ahead of Saturday’s supplementary polls in Southern Ijaw LGA and 101 units across 6 local governments in the state, which is expected to be the deciding factor of who emerges as the governor of the state. Reacting to the incident, Jonathan Obuebite, the director of publicity, Restoration Campaign Organisation, condemned the attack, describing it as a confirmation of the PDP’s earlier position that APC is not ready for election in the state but war. “The attack on the immediate younger brother of the Deputy Governor is a pointer to the terror that the APC is planning to unleash on the people of the state during Saturday’s re-run,”he said. Obuebite, therefore, called for thorough investigation into the matter, adding that, this is the only way the people in the state will have confidence in the security personnel. According to him,“it is sad to note that, some top politicians and ex-militants alleged to be responsible for the botched December 2015 governorship election in Southern Ijaw local government area are still working freely, without being arrested by the security agencies.” http://yarnvibes.com/photos-bayelsa-deputy-govs-sibling-escapes-assassination-as-apc-thugs-attack/

When will this violence stop. The way most politicians rear thugs like fowls and promote thuggery like MTN BOGOF tire person. Must election be on the platform of thuggery. The past government and the present state government contributed a lot to that in that region. Like in each state the godfather knew more about it. |

Bayelsa is an expectional state. Police and the masses knows the culprits. Nothing will be done . Govt will preach peace, then go behind doors to unleash mayhame . Ask the Commissioner of police who did that, he knows, the masses knows, the governor knows the opposition knows yet the case will die naturally. Dickson , Sylva, GEJ, Igiri, Jonah, and all ex militants are all killers. Yet these are same people that the masses worships . My happiness is that there are killing themselves and few jobless diehards fellowers. 2 Likes |

I won't be surprise if this come within the pdp. I might be supporting Apc but the truth be told. Most of this guy's were just too greedy. If they investigate properly, it might be that the party release money for the election movement and he was trying to pocket it or short change them. During the last election, about 2 millions was release to so of the party leaders in different community within yenagoa, some of them gave 2k per voter's while some gave out 5k and absconded with the remaining. Someone of the hard guy's might decide to get their shares by all means. I witness an incident on Wednesday night, when a barrister is trying to get away with money that he was supposed to use to mobilise boys that will go for election in their local government and drop the money inside his car, instead of sharing it with the guys. So they started dragging and pushing each other before he left the place. If boys decided to visit him in his house and dealt with him, they will put it on opposition party. Some crisis is internal one and boys were not smiling. 1 Like |
