PDP members in showdown at Owerri secretariat

There have been reports of a free-for-all among members of the Peoples Democratic Party, at the party secretariat in Owerri, Imo state.

The fracas, on Saturday reportedly started, when a faction of the party led by Chief Nnamdi Anyaehie, disrupted a meeting of the Caretaker Committee led by Vitalis Okafor.

Okafor, whose Caretaker Committee was inaugurated on January the 29th, 2016, to pilot the affairs of the party for three months, had hardly settled down for business with his members, when the Nnamdi Anyaehie-led faction stormed the secretariat and attempted to chase everyone away.

According to the reports, members of the clashing factions were later dispersed by armed policemen manning the secretariat, after which Anyaehie and his supporters drove away in a long convoy.

After the fight, during which many people sustained injuries, the police cordoned off the premises. (TVC)
