The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has alleged that some of its supporters were attacked and injured while travelling to attend President Bola Tinubu’s visit to the state last week.

The party’s Publicity Secretary, Chibike Ikenga, made the allegation in a statement issued on Thursday, accusing supporters of the African Democratic Congress of carrying out the attack.

According to Ikenga, the incident occurred around Eleme Junction on November 7, 2026, as APC supporters were travelling to the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium to attend the presidential rally.

The party alleged that the attackers disrupted the supporters’ journey and caused injuries of varying degrees.

“Our innocent supporters were attacked around Eleme Junction on their way to joining other party/coalition members to receive President Bola Tinubu and his entourage by members of the ADC, thereby disrupting their attendance and causing various degrees of injuries,” the statement said.

The Rivers APC warned the ADC and its supporters against further attacks, describing its warning as final.

“We wish to warn the ADC and its cohorts to take this as a final warning and desist from further attacks on our supporters,” Ikenga said.

The party also called on security agencies to investigate the incident, identify those responsible and bring them to justice.

It further urged its members to protect themselves if there were additional attacks.

“In the event of any further attacks on our supporters, we encourage our members to defend themselves and ensure their protection,” the statement added.
