Councillors Beat Asari-Toru LG Chairman, Onengiyeofori George In Rivers State by tonye33(op): 1:38pm On Feb 04

There was pandemonium in the Asari-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State on Tuesday following a face-off between the chairman of the local government, Hon. Onengiyeofori George and leader of the council legislative assembly, Hon. Ibifiri.

The cause of the face-off could not be ascertained at the time of filing this report.

However, it was learned that following a heated arguement between the duo, councillors took side with the LGA assembly leader and beat up the council chairman.

A video clip making the rounds, captured moments the council chairman reportedly took to his heel.

Rivers State has been enveloped in political crisis since 2023 following a fallout between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his estranged political godfather Nyesom Wike.

This incident is unfortunate and deeply embarrassing for democratic governance at the grassroots level. Local government councils are meant to be the closest arm of government to the people, where maturity, dialogue, and respect for institutions should prevail, not violence and disorder.
