Gunmen on Wednesday opened fire on a peaceful gathering of youths believed to be supporters of Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, in Elele, Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state.
The youths had reportedly assembled at a roundabout in Elele to express solidarity with Fubara when the attack occurred, further escalating political tensions in the state.
The incident followed a 48-hour ultimatum issued to Fubara by the Martin Amaewhule-led state House of Assembly to represent the 2025 Appropriation Bill, which expires on March 5.
