According to an eyewitness, “This is the level at which chairs and out party members who were having a meeting in the polling unit were destroyed. Phones and money were stolen from so many of our party members. This is the destruction of the chairs.
“In a desperate bid to recover huge grounds lost to the opposition, the ruling APC (All Progressives Congress) has let out its arsenal of thugs led by a serving member of the House of Representatives, David Zechariah and one Odu Akowe.
“In what they regarded as a “test-run” they harmed, maimed hapless individuals in Ajaka and destroyed property from Ajaka all through to Aloma. The thugs boasted that even the police cannot arrest them as they have the blessing and support of the Governor to deliver Kogi east to the APC at all costs.”
