The people in Ward 13, Unit 6 of the Oluasiri community, and Ward 7, Unit 5, have raised concerns over the use of armed thugs dressed in military uniforms threatening to gun down any member of the PDP found within the vicinity of voting which they claim are the plot of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
