Senator Magnus Abe, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum
(Downstream) and the Chief of Staff to Rivers State Governor Rotimi
Amaechi, Tony Okocha were reportedly both hit with rubber bullets shot
by Rivers police this morning Sunday January 12th during a political
rally in Port Harcourt. (The senator pictured above in hospital after
the shooting incident)
The Senator had led members of the Save Rivers Movement to a venue where
a pro-APC rally was to hold, and the police fired rounds and released
teargas in a bid to stop the event. Several people were wounded and have
been reportedly transported to the hospital.
One of those wounded Tony Okocha said Rivers police was trying to
militarize the state and blamed the attack on Supervising Minister of
Education, Nyesom Wike, who he claimed told police to stop the rally.
