Rivers State police are investigating the alleged burning of a family residence belonging to a member of the ADC party. Multiple reports say the incident takes place in Aluu, in the Ikwerre local government area, after a political meeting, with the home reportedly attacked and set on fire.
Premium Times reports that the ADC member alleges that supporters linked to Governor Nyesom Wike’s group were responsible for the burning. The Punch reports similarly that police are probing the circumstances, describing the incident as an attack and subsequent burning of the member’s home in Aluu/Omuoko, again tying it to a political gathering. While outlets agree on the investigation and broad location and timing, they differ in emphasis on specific allegations made by the ADC member versus the police position that facts are still being established.
Police have not publicly resolved the matter in the available reporting, and the claims and responsibility remain under investigation.
