“We had to run away because we didn’t want to be injured. Delta State belongs to all of us. Why are the hoodlums coming after us? Why is it that they are not protesting? But no problem, the election will come again. We know those behind these people asking us not to protest. But the police at Enerhen Junction intervened, they rescued us.”
No suspect had been arrested in connection with the attack as of the time of filing this report.
