weekend, to unleash mayhem during the presentation of manifestoes’ by presidential aspirants of the Ijaw Youth Congress.

The IYC manifestation presentation is scheduled for Monday (today) in the state.

It was learnt that scores of armed youths infiltrated the IzonWare building, the venue of the manifesto presentation to attack youths and vandalised the glass-designed entrance into the auditorium hall.

The attack, which was allegedly orchestrated by some loyalists of the former executive of the IYC, overwhelmed the security apparatus for the election.

An eyewitness, who craved anonymity, said, “The boys came into the venue under the guise of being part of the ongoing manifesto presentation and unleashed violence on peace-loving members. They vandalised the entrance doors and injured several persons.”

One of the 17 aspirants for IYC presidency, Mr. Elvis Donkemezuo, raised the alarm over alleged plan by some cultists to cause violence and disrupt the Monday election.

According to Donkemezuo, if urgent steps were not taken to address the situation, there would be bloodbath during the elections.
