GUNSHOTS ROCK VENUE OF PRO-WIKE RALLY IN BAYELSA

There was tension on Saturday in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state, over sounds of gunshots at the venue of the mega rally by a group, NEW Associates, loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

The rally is being organized by the group coordinated by George Turnah, a stalwart of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the state.

The rally was ongoing when sounds of gunshots blazed across the area.

Normalcy has however been restored.

Addressing journalists after the shooting, Secretary of the NEW Associates in Bayelsa State, Comrade Ebilade Ekerefe, said the rally must go on.

Meanwhile, NEW Associates supporters have regrouped to continue the rally.
