Fidelis Chidi blog reported that a policeman was killed while several APC supporters were injured when hoodlums opened fire on the governorship campaign rally in the area.
Reports emanated from some quarters that Mrs. Jonathan, who is a native of Okrika Local Government Area, was behind the attack to disrupt the rally.
However, Ateke Tom, has come out to defend the First Lady, asserting that Mrs. Jonathan would never be involved in the sponsorship of violence. He described her as a woman of peace.
He said, “Politicians are pointing accusing fingers; but they are all politicians. But what I am sure of is that the President’s wife can never be involved in the attack at Okrika...
“She is seen as the mother of the country and she hates violence and the shedding of blood. She can’t be involved in such an act and I disagree with those saying she is responsible for the attack on APC campaign ground.”
