An All Progressives Congress (APC) agent in River state for Saturday’s presidential election, Samson Igerebara, have given a vivid description of how militants killed, tied up, beheaded and paraded the community with the head of the party’s ex-official, Ignatius Fubara, before the commencement of polls on Saturday.

Igerebara also described how Mowan Exeter, his elder brother and nephew, were killed.

The agent disclosed this at the state Collation Centre in Port Harcourt, adding that the consequence stampede couldn’t have allowed many people to vote, as the results sheet had implied.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had announced 72,330 votes for Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and 72,766 votes for APC in the presidential polls held in Andoni Local Government Area, the same day they were killed.

According to him, “he was killed alongside his elder brother and nephew. Thereafter, Mowan’s corpse was dragged around the streets of Asarama.

“At that point, everybody in the community ran away. From 8 a.m. till 5 p.m., you could hardly see even a fowl on the street. “It is unimaginable for anybody to say elections took place in that Azarama Ward 9. Again, in Ward 8, precisely, Ajaghaja, Rivers APC Ex-Official, Ignatius Fubara, was tied as you would tie a crocodile.

“He was then taken to a slab where his head was chopped off. And those who chopped off his head demonstrated around the community with it.

“It is clear that a sane person would not stay in such an environment to conduct elections, yet the Collation Officer and the Electoral Officer turned in results.

“For a human being to turn in results on the blood of innocent souls is the height of injustice and the authorities must look into it.”
