Fire razes section of Eleme LG secretariat in Rivers

5

A portion of the Eleme Local Government Council secretariat has been set on fire.

In a phone conversation with former Ambassador Oji Ngofa, a native of Eleme, it was reported that the newly elected chairman, Brain Gokpa, arrived at the council secretariat with his councilors and supporters, only to find that several buildings within the council had been torched.

As of now, no arrests have been made, and the police have not yet issued a statement regarding the incident. There are growing concerns about a possible outbreak of violence in certain councils within the state.

While details remain limited, this incident occurs just days after the Rivers Local Government Elections, which were dominated by the Action Peoples Party (APP).
