The member representing Ethiope Federal Constituency, Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, on Saturday escaped unhurt after violence disrupted the All Progressives Congress (APC) congress in Ethiope West Local Government Area of Delta State.
The congress, which was initially scheduled to be held at the Oghara Township Stadium, was reportedly moved to Ovade within the LGA, a development that heightened tension among party members.
Violence erupted shortly after Ibori-Suenu arrived at the new venue. Supporters alleged that suspected thugs attacked party members, leaving several persons injured. Some of the injured were said to have been taken to hospitals for treatment.
