Alleged attack: ADC gives APC 24-hour ultimatum to produce ev

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State has given the All Progressives Congress (APC) 24 hours to provide evidence linking its members to an alleged attack on APC supporters at Eleme Junction during President Bola Tinubu’s recent visit to the state.

The ADC denied involvement in the incident, describing the allegation as false and capable of creating political tension in the state.

The party was reacting to a statement issued on Wednesday by the Rivers APC Publicity Secretary, Chibike Ikenga, who accused ADC members of attacking APC and Rainbow Coalition supporters travelling to attend Tinubu’s rally at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium on November 7.

In a statement dated November 12 and signed by its Publicity Secretary, Chizy Enyi, the ADC challenged Ikenga and the APC to provide evidence to support the allegation within 24 hours.

The party demanded the names of those allegedly attacked, details of any medical treatment they received, the police station where the incident was reported and photographs, videos or eyewitness accounts that could link the attackers to the ADC.
