The Rivers State Police Command has launched an investigation into a recent attack on the home of Isaiah Thomas, a member of the African Democratic Congress, in Aluu, Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State. According to the state Police Public Relations Officer, Blessing Agabe, armed men stormed the community early Wednesday and demanded to see Thomas, who was not at home.
Upon his absence, the assailants reportedly ransacked the residence, looted property belonging to the family and tenants, and set the building ablaze. Thomas' mother, Uchechi, alleged that the attackers arrived in large numbers, armed with guns, and set some buildings within the family compound on fire. The incident occurred barely 24 hours after campaigns officially opened for the presidential and National Assembly elections.
