The Police Command in Cross River has confirmed the disruption of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) political gathering in Bakassi Local Government Area by suspected political thugs.
The command’s spokesman, ASP Sunday Eitokpah, gave the confirmation on Sunday in reaction to a viral video of the disruption of the ADC political activity.
In the viral video, a particular thug was heard ordering others to scatter everything as they (ADC) were nowhere to be found when they (APC) were busy fixing the council area.
According to the Police Spokesman, the event, which took place on Saturday, was about to commence when “the hoodlums from nowhere came and scattered the canopies, chairs and sound systems.”
He, however, said the situation had been brought under control to prevent snowballing into a full-blown crisis.
“Officers and the tactical team are at the scene. The event couldn’t continue. In such a chaotic situation, and considering the volatile nature of the area, for now, no arrests have been made,” he stated.
It would be recalled that similar incidents occurred on Tuesday, when the party’s activities were disrupted in Calabar.
The disruption prompted the ADC to raise the alarm over what it described as an attempt to hijack the party’s structure in the state.
