The Department of State Security in Rivers state has thwarted an
assassination attempt on Peterside Dakuku, the All Progressives Congress
(APC) candidate in last year’s guber election in the state and
reportedly arrested Chukwuemeka Woke, the Chief of Staff to Governor
Nyesom Wike for leading a killer squad in two Sport Utility Vehicles
that trailed and opened fire on Mr. Dakuku.
According to a press release issued by Mr. Dakuku’s office, the gunmen
trailed him from Aba Road as he drove towards his house in the GRA area
of Port Harcourt, but as his car made to turn towards the GRA entrance
to his home, the gunmen...
drove aggressively hoping to overtake his car.
Mr. Dakuku then changed course and drove to the state headquarters of the DSS as his security aide had already radioed for help.
Soon as Dakuku was allowed into the premises of the DSS, officers at the
gate reportedly opened fire on the two SUVs trailing him and succeeded
in demobilizing the care and got some of the occupants including Mr.
Woke arrested.
During the 39minutes of exchanging gunfire, one of Mr. Peterside’s security aides was seriously injured.
Peterside who was in his car with Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, Rivers State All
Progressives Congress, APC Chairman and Hon. Asita Honourable, Deputy
Governorship candidate of the APC in April 2015 election said they
escaped the assassins bullets by a stroke of luck.
