December 5, 2015 – The People’s Democratic(PDP) has shot into early in the Bayelsa State governorship election, going by results so far declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC).
Result have so far been declared in Ogbia, Sagbama, the governor’s LGA, Kolukoma Opokuma LGA, where Timi Alaibe and Dudafa hails from. Results have also been declared in Nembe LGA, where the Deputy Governor came from.
Meanwhile, a policeman was reported killed in Famgbe, a remote suburb in Yenagoa. He was alleged to have been slaughtered by a renowned political thug, Osom Blankson.
According to eye witness report, the refusal of the police man to upturn the result of the election in the area where PDP won by a wide margin in favour of the APC resulted in the attack of the policeman who suffered severed machete cuts and later bled to death.
Already most communities are celebrating as results are been declared.
Two of Heineken Lokpobiri’s younger brothers dressed in military uniforms allegedly led political thugs to attack Chief TK Okorotie in his residence at Okorotie Gbene where unit 3 is located.
Senator Lokpobiri was said to have entered the community around 5. am on Saturday morning with the intention of carrying out his proclamation during his last visit to Ekeremor community where he had promised to eliminate anybody that will go against his will.
The attack on Chief Okorotie, started immediately Lokpobiri arrived the community where he delegated his two younger brothers to carry out the act.
We gathered that when they got to the compound they demanded for Chief Okorotie and in his absence his security men were beaten to pulp by thugs allegedly dressed in military uniforms and destroyed a lot of properties.
“They also shot at his son Chief Ambassador Ebikibina Okorotie but by divine intervention he was only scratched by a stray bullet on his forehead’’ an eye witness said.
So far normalcy has returned to the polling unit. According to sources, PDP supporters were scared because Heneiken Lokpobiri threatened to come back knowing fully well that the unit is a PDP stronghold. PDP is said to be leading in almost all the pulling units. Five people were reportedly killed earlier when ex-militants opened fire in some local governments to scare voters.
