Ahead of the gubernatorial elections today, about 50 heavily
armed soldiers mounted heavy blockade around the family
residence of the governorship candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, Barr Nyesom Wike as early as 6am
today.
Vehicles were thoroughly searched before being allowed to
drive through Wipey Junction, a very busy intersection close
to the family residence. At about 6:40 am the soldiers were
seen emptying
sand bags from one of their trucks.
Pedestrians were seen raising their hands as they walked
pass the soldiers who took strategic positions with their
rifles.
Vaguard reports that efforts by them to take shots were
rebuffed by one of the soldiers who appeared like the head
of the troop.
