Edo Election: Tension In Okpella, As PDP, APC Supporters Clash by Shaev7(m): 11:36pm On Sep 08, 2016
ABUJA- THERE was pandemonium
Thursday in Okpella, Estako East Local
Government area of Edo State as
supporters of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP clashed with those of the All
Progressives Congress, APC.
It was gathered that the incident
started brewing in the early hours of
yesterday when some PDP supporters
were alleged to have threatened to
carry out attack on any Okpellan
supporting the ruling APC in Okpella.
The clash came barely some hours to
the announcement of the
postponement of Saturday,
September 10 Edo State gubernatorial
election by the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC.
The clash is also coming barely three
days after a youth body in Okpella,
Okpella Youth Council, warned in a
recent publication of a possible
inversion of the community by thugs
hired by unknown politicians in
Okpella.
It was also gathered that the youths
were initially reacting to an alleged
gun shot at the gate of a PDP stalwart
in Okpella that took place at about
3am on Thursday.
According to an eyewitness and a
victim of the attack who spoke on
phone, Afebu Musa, said they
summoned a meeting to explain
more details to party supporters who
were curious about the likelihood of
the election in Edo State to hold on
Saturday after reports from the police
and DSS that there is a security threat
in the state.
Afebu said, “We were at a meeting
when they were passing during their
own campaign and they stopped
shouting who is doing this here.
“I could hear some of them saying,
this will not happen! How come they
are still not been deflected? ”
“As if the property they destroyed
were not enough, they have chased
my pregnant wife and one of my
tenants who they injured from my
house”.
“I sneaked out of my house with the
help of God and I don’t know how to
go back home because the police in
Okpella were helpless today at the
scene of the incident”.
“We call on security agencies to help
save us from the hands of these boys.
We have been peaceful all this while
and no one has found us wanting
throughout the campaigns but I am
surprise to see this happening.”
