Commotion As Thugs Set Fire To ADC Office In Ex-Governor Amaechi’s Village

Suspected political thugs have reportedly set fire to the office of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Ubima Community, Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State—the hometown of former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi.

The political thugs also attacked the minister’s community with heavy firepower, shooting sporadically in the area.

Amaechi is one of the leaders of the ADC, the political party seeking to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

Amaechi is reported to be visiting Ubima on Friday to officially register with the ADC at the ward level.

It was gathered that the thugs invaded the community Thursday night, shooting heavily and setting the party secretariat on fire.

Vanguard reports that the thugs reappeared Friday morning and mounted a roadblock on the Omuawa-Ubima Road, stopping every bus with an ADC banner from entering Ubima.

It was gathered that intervention from security operatives mobilised to the area restored normalcy.
