PMnews reports that the deputy ward chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ward 1 in Odi Local Government Area of the state, Diseye Dickson, was shot dead on Wednesday December 2, by unidentified gunmen who were reportedly dressed in military uniform at about 11pm.
Infact, PDP members in the area were violently attached by suspected APC supporters as they ordered people who are not APC members to leave the community.
Jonathan Obuebite , who is the director of Media and Publicity of the Restoration Campaign Organisation of PDP condemned the attack, saying this is not the first time APC will attack members of the opposition.
He said: “We condemn the attacks on our members in Eweama and Okpoama communities. We call on relevant security agencies to investigate the incident and bring the culprits to book.
“Nobody has the monopoly of violence. If the APC-led federal government fails to put a stop to this wanton display of federal might and sheer brigandage and violence being unleashed on us by APC in Bayelsa state, we will be helpless if our members resort to defending themselves.

“And in that circumstance, the outcome will be too disastrous for the federal government to handle. The federal government should be alive to the responsibility. Nobody, no matter his position, abuses his office to support lawlessness.”
Denying the allegation, a source in the community said the attackers were not members of APC but some PDP thugs who were not paid who retaliated by attacking their leader, Austin Adigio, a cousin to Sylva.
