I hear 50 Armed Soldiers were deployed at Nyesom Wike's private Resdience...

News just reaching us indicates that about 50 heavily armed soldiers mounted a barricade around the family residence of the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers state, Barrister Nyesom Wike as early as 6am today.

Vanguard reports that vehicles were thoroughly searched before being allowed to drive through Wipey Junction, a busy intersection close to the family residence. At about 6.40am the soldiers were seen unloading sand bags from one of their trucks.
It was reported that efforts to take pictures were impeded by one of the soldiers who appeared to be the head of the troop.

The report also revealed that pedestrians were seen raising their hands as they walked pass the soldiers who took strategic positions with their riffles.
Meanwhile, following the tension brewing in Rivers state over the gubernatorial and house of assembly elections today, the police yesterday deployed special units to the state as part of efforts to address security concerns.
