Dr. Abiye Sekibo, the Director General (DG) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council in Rivers State, narrowly escaped being shot on Thursday at midnight.
Sekibo went to Rainbow Town in Port Harcourt to assess the location of a potential presidential rally for the party when it was learned that gunmen wearing police uniforms opened fire on his Land Cruiser armoured jeep.
Confirming the incident at a news briefing Friday, Sekibo said his car was riddled with bullets and the venue of the proposed rally set on fire, while policemen watched the inferno.
“As we approached the site, those policemen who were watching the inferno opened fire on our vehicle.
I looked at the Hilux vehicles, they were police Hilux vehicles attached to the Governor of Rivers State.”
