Photos: Senator Magnus Abe shot as Rivers police disrupt APC rally

Senator Magnus Abe, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum (Downstream) and the Chief of Staff to Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, Tony Okocha were reportedly both hit with rubber bullets shot by Rivers police this morning Sunday January 12th during a political rally in Port Harcourt. (The senator pictured above in hospital after the shooting incident)

The Senator had led members of the Save Rivers Movement to a venue where a pro-APC rally was to hold, and the police fired rounds and released teargas in a bid to stop the event. Several people were wounded and have been reportedly transported to the hospital.

One of those wounded Tony Okocha said Rivers police was trying to militarize the state and blamed the attack on Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, who he claimed told police to stop the rally. Another pic of the wounded Senator after the cut...

So many Fuuny things in this AFRICA. Why is greed killing you guyz? All comes down to greed, money,owo,kudi,ego, why? I like Baba Obansanjo , Like wise GEJ . They've done me no wrong but , why all these talks here and there? APC has the right to do any rally. If truly truly GEJ wants to win he should stop Policemen from doing all these evil cos people are watching. If it's your destiny that you will run for presidency , you will WIN no matter what Mr President. Please let these things stop.

I no see blood, maybe he is not badly wounded.Both Amechi and Goodluck are only using some stupid people that want to be used to fight their fight,till when they start dying maybe they will learn in their grave, does it mean that Goodluck and Amechi doesn't have blood brothers to fight for them?

Unknown said...

Between PDP , APC or any other political parties, a state police commissioner is not suppose to obstruct rally once they are been notified earlier in advance for the purpose of security in regards the Law.
i totally condemn the Evil of what CP Mbu is perpetrating in Rivers State and join other voices in calling for his resignation and face charges of Human Right Violation and promoter of Terrorism.
Him & his paymasters are over heating the polity ahead of 2015 GE and its Bad for Nigerian Democracy.

I do not say he was not hit by police rubber bullets but what I am surprised at is in d second pic he was wearing a wrist watch while lying on d hospital bed. What this goes to show is that the man is not in a serious state as against what is being reported. This Rivers State Govt thrives on noise making.

Don't mind APC pple, they make a lot of noise and lie a lot. Just about the lie one of them told the last time after he nearly used a MASE to kill someone. He ran to the hospital thereafter and started shouting that they wanted to kill him. Amaechi and his law makers along with his APC can't be trusted. Lie mohammed will soon appear with his demented lying face.

On this to know the truth, police deny claims of using rubber bullets (can't trust police in Nigeria), doc said senator brought in for shock, will not confirm if senator shot, my conclusion?, senator not shot, probably tear gassed, Gov Ameachi media propanganda, aided by lazy copy and paste, corrupt section of old and new media. I pray someone video taped this on cell phone, anyway, Linda consider posting police and doc statements for your esteemed blog visitors to make an informed judgment. Best wishes.

Karma is a bitch. This guy (Magnus) was a nasty piece of work back in the day. I hope he turns to God and begs for forgiveness for all the atrocities he committed. Guys when you go around molesting people, remember, your time will come. Every dog has its day. No sympathy for him. At all.

The truth of the matter is the police is guilty. Rubber bullets are used by the upgraded Nigerian police for riot control. If it were real bullets now we may be confused about the source . Police , JTF, militants, robbers , angry

I want to know why Sen Magnus is being flown out of the country for treatment when Gov Ameachi claims to have built a world class hospital in PH. It took just four hours to fly him out of the country, yet it took four days to fly Rt Hon Tonye Harry RIP for treatment after he was said to have suffered a heart attack.
