Some over zealous soldiers detailed to guard Warri City Stadium on the day President Goodluck Jonathan led other top PDP Chiefs to Warri to drum up support for Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan in the just concluded gubernatorial rerun election in Delta State molested popular Delta born stand-up comedians, ‘I Go Dye’ and ‘I Go Save’ while trying to gain entry into the Warri City Stadium.
Our Senior Correspondent who covered the rally reports that efforts to speak with the two popular comedians on the show of shame were unsuccessful as they were being treated by medical personnel attached to the mobile medical unit. One of Nigeria’s pioneer ace comedian (name withheld) however pleaded with Journalists not to “blow the matter”, promising that “it will be taken care of”.
It was also gathered that apart from the two comedians, a Journalist working with Vanguard Newspaper (name withheld) also suffered a “brush” in the show of shame despite identifying himself.
Fresh Angle can also report that prior to the President’s visit a day earlier, two anti bomb vans conveying heavily armed security men were seen at the premises of Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan apparently to forestall any security breach, while a large number of security details were positioned in strategic areas of Warri on the day President Goodluck Jonathan and his vice, Namadi Sambo alongside PDP National Chairman, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo visited.
Our Correspondent also reports that the Warri City Stadium recorded low turn out despite mass mobilization by PDP faithful in the state.
