Some women belonging of All Progressives Congress in Rivers State had teargas thrown on them by policemen around the INEC headquarters on Aba Road after they tried to take their annoyance over Saturday’s presidential elections in the state to the Commission’s office.
The women, putting on black attires and were led by House of Representatives candidate for Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area, Maureen Tamuno, came via several buses from various parts of the state as early as 8:30am to pour out their anger.
Armoured tanks surrounded both lanes leading to INEC office while armed police and military policemen in large numbers were positioned in strategic points in the vicinity.
Monday’s protest by the APC women followed Sunday’s version of the party’s youths from various parts of the state to the Commission’s headquarters where gunshots were fired after the protesters prevented an SUV believed to be conveying the PDP governorship candidate in Rivers, Nyesom Wike, from leaving the area.
The APC youths also attacked other vehicles moving in and out of the area.
