Three Feared Killed As Gunmen Attack PDP Rally In Bayelsa
By
Three people have been feared killed in the violence that rocked the Peoples Democratic Party rally at Okolomabiri in Nembe Local Government Area of Bayelsa State on Wednesday.
It was gathered that gunmen stormed the venue of the rally and began shooting indiscriminately.
A driver of an OB van attached to the Bayelsa State-owned radio station, Simon Onu, was one of those said to have been shot dead.
Earlier, some journalists and supporters of the PDP had made their way to Nembe Pasambre, where the APC deputy governorship candidate, Senator Degi Biobarakuma, hails from.
They were, however, denied entry into the community, after which they moved to Okolomabiri, a nearby community where they were greeted with violence that resulted in the deaths.
Senator Biobarakuma was disqualified yesterday from participating in the election holding on Saturday by a Federal High Court in Abuja.
