A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) in Rivers state has been
confirmed dead following injuries he
sustained from beatings by operatives of the Special Anti- Robbery Squad (SARS) during the December 10 legislative rerun elections in the state.



According to The New Telegraph, the
deceased, Mr. Lenee Neebani, who was
the PDP chairman Ward 10, Khana local
government area was arrested by SARS
operatives during the elections allegedly on the orders of a top member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the area.



After his arrest, the SARS operatives
reportedly took the PDP chieftain to a
hotel owned by the APC chieftain, where he was beaten to a state of coma and released on December 11.



But Neebani reportedly died the next
day in the hospital where he was rushed to for treatment.


Similarly, another PDP member, Mr.
Legborsi Azoor, who was also arrested
in Khana during the rerun polls is
currently in a critical condition in the
hospital.



According to the leaders of the party,
Mr. Legborsi Azoor, had been bleeding
from his ears and nose after he was seriously beaten up by the SARS operatives.



Chairman of the PDP in Khana, Sydney
Tambari Gbaane, disclosed that that
Azoor, who is the Ward 9 Secretary of
the PDP in Khana, was arrested
alongside others who were equally taken to the same hotel where they were beaten to stupour by the police.


Gbaane said security operatives during
poll focused on arresting members of
the PDP on the orders of the chieftain of
the APC instead of providing security to
the people of the area.
