A woman whose name was given as Mrs. Ayokpo Okringbo was shot dead on Thursday Dec. 3rd during a failed attempt by political thugs allegedly sponsored by the APC to abduct chieftain of the PDP and owner of Watgo fuel station, Ogoriba Watson in Kolokuma-Opokuma and Odi areas of Bayelsa state. The casualty is coming about 48 hours to the Bayelsa state governorship election.
The Director of Publicity of the Restoration Campaign Organisation, Jonathan Obuebite, told journalists in Yenagoa that the attackers were dressed in army uniforms.
He
stated that the kidnap attempt was foiled by a police patrol which
swiftly responded to a distress call which led to exchange of gun fire
between the thugs and the police.
According
to him, sensing they were overwhelmed, the thugs resorted to shooting
sporadically to escape and in the process, a women leader of the PDP in
that ward was shot.
During the incident which happened in Odi at 4.30 am, a woman whose name was given as Mrs. Ayokpo Okringbo was rushed to the hospital but later died.
Obuebite who said that the terror activities of the APC and its agents were designed to
scare people from going out to vote, expressed optimism that they will
fail because the voters were determined to express their convictions at
the election by voting for the PDP.
While
condemning the alleged terror act, he called on the security
authorities to check the excesses of the APC and its penchant to resort
to violence and brigandage.
“APC ‘s actions have clearly shown that they are not prepared for the election. It
is true that all they are out to do is to unleash mayhem which will
result in the outright cancellation of the election but we hope that the
security agencies are on top of the situation”.
Obuebite commended
the gallantry of the police officers for successfully foiling the
kidnap attempt and called on the Inspector General of Police to take
urgent steps to deploy superior intelligence in tracking the movement of
criminal elements who, he accused, were hell-bent in derailing the electoral process.
“Bayelsa is
under siege at the moment. APC thugs have taken over the entire state.
The police authorities must move with speed and apply superior
intelligence to fish out these criminal elements before they truncate
this election”, he stated.

it is funny the way this political miscreant are toiling with the hearts and lives of Nigerians...it is a pity that lots will come out to speak of there differences saying APC are thugs what about PDP? always nagging about everything knowing that the same APC are one's PDP, so what is the difference just a party transfer mode.....abeg none of the political parties are worthy. To hell with both.
thugs sponsored by APC? is ok.any bad tin wey happen or wan happen,olisah metuh go say na APC.pls gif us ample efidence.
Bayelsa and Rivers have similar political interest and it would be impossible to give up without a fight from PDP. I just hope innocent lives won't be caught up in their web of political tussle.
Speechless,
Hmmm
Odi still map,after what obj did to them
APC, Nigeria's worst mistake... rip to her anyways..
This APC and PDP political party is more like a political cult group than it is a political party! And that is how our leaders paint the whole scenario!
When will this political madness end? May her soul rest in peace....
