Just In: Dr. Danagogo Allegedly Intimidating Voters In Rivers

 

Several allegation is coming from the Information and Communications Commissioner in Rivers State, Ibim Semenitari, where the government refers to the breakdown of law and order in the area as the “exact repetition of the Sports Minister’s undemocratic acts last March 28 when he commissioned and supervised the harassment, intimidation and bloodying of APC members and prospective voters”.
According to Semenitari, Dr. Danagogo, has in brazen disrespect to all known principles of democracy, decorum and rights of the people, begun to brutalise voters. The Sports Minister has been moving from house-to-house since 9.00am, hounding and brutalising known APC members.

She continued, “We consider this act an outright infringement on the people’s freedom of association and expression. We expected Danagogo to know better as a lawyer that his act is an offence punishable under the Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We hope he will boldly face justice after this period.
“It will be recalled that during the March 28 Presidential and National Assembly elections, Dr. Danagogo similarly deployed militia groups who in collaboration with the same set of armed soldiers he hired in Abuja, terrorized, kidnapped and brutalized APC members in Abonnema”.

Mrs. Semenitari advised Dr. Danagogo to be civil and conduct himself appropriately and within the law.  

“This brigandage and show of shame in Akuku Toru is unacceptable. Dr Danagogo should allow voters in Akuku Toru vote according to their conscience; unmolested and unfettered”, she concluded.
