Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, on Friday, called on security agencies to identify and arrest miscreants who attacked his convoy and set fire to the office of the African Democratic Congress in Ubima community, Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.
It was gathered that gunmen, on Friday, attacked Amaechi’s convoy on the road between Ubima and Omuanwa in Ikwerre LGA.
The former Rivers State governor was in his community for his e-registration as a member of the ADC.
However, before Amaechi arrived in the community around 12:15 pm on Friday, suspected thugs had already mounted a roadblock, turning back buses identified as conveying ADC members attending the visit.
The thugs had earlier, on Thursday night, set ablaze the ward office of the ADC in Ubima, Amaechi’s hometown.
The miscreants, who reportedly invaded the community with heavy firepower to stop the former governor’s visit, shot sporadically into the community and riddled the gate of Amaechi’s family house with bullets.
However, when the ADC leader eventually arrived to enter the community, the armed thugs reportedly stopped his convoy, but security operatives in his team engaged the attackers.
