Port Harcourt – About 50 heavily-armed
soldiers mounted a blockade around the
family residence of the governorship candidate
of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Barr
Nyesom Wike as early as 6am today.
Vehicles were thoroughly searched before
being allowed to drive through Wipey
Junction, a busy intersection close to the
family residence.
At about 6:40 am the soldiers were seen
emptying sand bags from one of their trucks.
Efforts by Vanguard to take shots was rebuffed
by one of the soldiers who appeared like the
head of the troop.
Pedestrians were seen raising their hands as
they walked pass the soldiers who took
strategic positions with their riffles.
A French athlete Yohann Diniz was unfortunate to be racing with an illness on a day when temperatures reached up to 27 degrees. The athlete who is the record holder of the race, collapsed during the Rio Olympic 50km walk after suffering from stomach trouble - only to get back to his feet and finished the race in a creditable 11th place, seeing his Olympic dreams end in such humiliating fashion.
