that,
“We got information that PDP thugs want to swap results at the collation centre at Isiokpo in Ikwerre Local government area. We mobilised to go and stop the thugs. On our way back to Port Harcourt, we noticed that a car was trailing us. At UTC junction, we decided to be sure of the people trailing us; the youths started shooting sporadically. My boss was hit.”
In the meantime, the Chief of Staff to Nyesom Wike, the Rivers state
