Rivers APC drags PDP before UN, Amnesty International over alleged violence

 The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has initiated moves to report the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state to the United Nations (UN), Amnesty International, ECOWAS and other international bodies over the spate of violence across the state, ahead of the February general elections.

Rivers APC chairman, Dr Davies Ikanya, made the disclosure in a statement issued in Port Harcourt, on Tuesday.

He noted that a 10-man committee had been set up to compile evidence of attacks on APC members, offices and properties, allegedly by the PDP.

Ikanya said the evidence would be sent to the UN and the other international bodies with a view to getting them to intervene before the situation got out of hand.

The committee was given seven days to submit its report and recommendations, urging the members to specifically get details of how the party’s two secretariats in Okrika and Adoni Local Government Areas of the state were bombed within a space of less than one week.
