Rochas And Thugs Invade Owerri Catholic Cathedral, Many Wounded by valicious1(op):
i witnessed the event live, but for the sake of doubting thomases let me make use of the version from this source. All the thugs and attackers were putting on Rochas' vests and brandishing APC flags and materials. they kept on chanting war songs in support of rochas as they went on with the bloody attack on innocent citizens and reverend fathers.

"The Imo state gubernatorial debate scheduled for 10:00 am this morning at the Maria Assumpta Cathedral was disrupted by hoodlums who invaded the church premises attacking onlookers that gathered for the event.


The Archbishop, Most Rev. A.J.V Obinna advised onlookers to leave as the debate will be rescheduled and communicated to the public as soon as possible.

The attitude of most Nigerian politicians regarding electioneering in Nigeria is that elections are the operational counterpart of war in which all intrigues, fair or foul are considered legitimate.

Thugs obviously recruited by politicians resorting to extreme profanity and desecrating a place of worship is condemnable. Arrests are yet to be confirmed. It is being speculated that the top contenders for Imo guber seat – PDP and APC guber candidates Hon. Emeka Ihedioha and Governor Rochas Okorocha should be held responsible for anarchy. The commissioner of information had immediately gone on air to exonerate his principal while Hon. Ihedioha is currently on air to criticize governor Okorocha.

Arch. Bishop Obinna reputed for non –partisan politics had organized a maiden edition of the gubernatorial debate in 2011 which fared well. The reason for today’s mayhem is alleged to be the apparent dwindling of the incumbent governor’s popularity.

Politicians are the same everywhere anyway. Today’s anarchy does not vindicate any of the Imo guber candidates who are less popular. This is due to the partisan business of politicking that employs lies, misinformation and propaganda, blasphemy and the abominable local parlance of do or die politics – credited to former president Olusegun Obasanjo."

You shouldn't have cut out this part of the story:

with guns, machetes
and axes to scare them away, making sure
the debate would be a failure. He went
ahead to accuse the PDP gubernatorial
candidate, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha and his
boys to be behind the attack.
According to his report, he said that the PDP
people gave students two hundred naira
yesterday with a red card and whistle to
campaign against the incumbent Governor,
Owelle Rochas Okorocha and his party
(APC). He also went ahead to say that
Emeka Ihedioha mobilized women with one
thousand naira each mandating them to
dress in black and black as widows and
campaign against the governor. The
commissioner stated he has every belief
that the PDP is behind the attack in the
cathedral this morning.

You shouldn't have cut out this part of the story:
And YOU, in your typical deception and penchant for bare-faced lies, went ahead to cut out the part where it was revealed that the comment you quoted here WAS MADE BY ROCHAS OKOROCHA'S COMMISSIONER FOR INFORMATION, CHIDI IBE.
Who else was the fvvcking mouthpiece of Rochas Okorocha to blame if not the governor's closest rival (who appears dead set on dethroning him)?

Here, let me show them the part you ignomiously refused to paste...

[size=13pt]The state commissioner of information – Chief Chidi Ibe went
on air shortly after the violence[/size]
stating that the hoodlums
attacked the crowd reportedly with guns, machetes and axes
to scare them away, making sure the debate would be a
failure. He went ahead to accuse the PDP gubernatorial
candidate, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha and his boys to be behind the
attack.
But I found this even more interesting...

Thugs obviously recruited by politicians resorting to extreme
profanity and desecrating a place of worship is condemnable.
Arrests are yet to be confirmed. [size=14pt]It is being speculated that the
top contenders for Imo guber seat – PDP and APC guber
candidates Hon. Emeka Ihedioha and Governor Rochas
Okorocha should be held responsible for anarchy.
[/size] The
commissioner of information had immediately gone on air to
exonerate his principal while Hon. Ihedioha is currently on air
to criticize governor Okorocha.
As a person currently on-ground and abreast with the happenings in Imo state, I can authoritatively tell you the hoodlums were hired by Rochas, just like he paid 400 naira to Emmanuel College students and hired them as fake protesters, just like he's been hiring thugs to destroy Ihedioha's campaign posters. You can ask anybody in Owerri. That is the truth. I have been fvvcking consistent.

As I am speaking to you, Rochas is yet to pay secondary teachers their due salaries. Since January! This is the same commander of fake free education. Fake education with 0 funding for technical colleges?
What country or state strives for economic diversification without equipping the technical colleges that would arm the masses with the necessary skills for self-reliance and craftsmanship?

Nnam, oge gi agaala. Biko ka'o puo.

No time to respond to ediots.
I copied and pasted the part of the story that was purposely cut out by the Op who is an anti-Rochas.
Now can I get a bit of fresh air on this thread?

You are seriously on Point, information reaching us states that the boys that were apprehended destroying APGA billboards have confessed that the Chief of Staff to Rochas- Jude Ejiogu, from the same community with Archbishop AJV Obinna, mobilized them to cause the pandemonium and destroy the billboards.

More reports to follow, Owerri is going to Boil very soon !!!!
