Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Tonye Cole, is facing murder speculation against his person.
Hitherto, Cole had accused the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state of sponsoring vicious attack on him at INEC office in Aba Road, Port Harcourt on Monday.
The occasion was the inspection of election materials by political parties ahead of the election petition tribunal sitting, which was marked by violence in which several people were injured while one person died of stray bullet.
The fatality is being laid at the doorstep of the APC governorship candidate(pictured above showing his own injury from the violence) from expected quarter, the PDP.
The party also said the victims was its member and called for Cole’s arrest.
The imputation was made by the party state Publicity Secretary, Sydney Gbara, who told Punchng; “Tonye Cole came there with thugs dressed in police uniforms and tried to disrupt what the PDP was doing, and we said no.
“In the process, the thugs tried to disperse the PDP supporters and started shooting into the crowd. And one of our supporters was shot and rushed to the hospital. The information we are getting now is that he has been confirmed dead as I speak to you.
“Therefore, the PDP is calling on the Inspector-General of Police and the state Commissioner of Police to go after Tonye Cole and arrest him immediately for the death of that young man.”
