Sapele\u00a0 Delta State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Gabriel Ada, has expressed shock over the activities of Peoples Democratic Peoples, PDP, thugs, who\u00a0 ravaged Sapele in the early hours of yesterday, following reports of victory of the Democratic Peoples Party, DPP, gubernatorial candidate, Chief Great Ogboru, over his main oppenent, Governor Emmauel Uduaghan of the PDP.<\/p>\n

Dr Ada expressed\u00a0 shock when his opinion was sought by newsmen on the mayhem in Sapele,\u00a0 when a large number of PDP thugs loyal to a Sapele politician and a serving House of Assembly candidate, who was also PDP candidate in Tuesday\u2019s assembly election for Sapele constitutency, unleashed mayhem on innocent people upon hearing that their candidate was loosing in the election.<\/p>\n

The thugs, numbering over 50, who freely used shot guns and matchets on people, also destroyed a Honder car belonging to Chief Cyril Ogodo, the Democratic Peoples Party, DPP candidate for Sapele consitutuency in the election.<\/p>\n

When Vanguard visited the scene, blood stains were still fresh on the ground.\u00a0 At the Okurighwe axis, four PDP thugs were shot on the legs by anti-riot policemen when the thugs tried to snatch a ballot box from a polling unit during the election. One of the thugs died hours later.<\/p>\n

The DPO in Sapele Police Area Command, confirmed that there was a gun battle between the thugs and the police, resulting in the death of one.<\/p>\n

In another development, the DPP candidate for Okpe, Uvwie and Sapele constitutency, in Tuesday\u2019s election, Mr. Micheal Omuvwie, was on Tuesday, arrested on allegation of arm possession but was later released after the police searched his car and\u00a0 residence and foundd no arms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
