The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has demanded the arrest and investigation of Charles Wobodo, Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area in Rivers State, following an alleged attack on the convoy of former Governor Rotimi Amaechi.
The incident occurred on Friday, March 6, 2026, along the Omuanwa axis as Amaechi traveled to his hometown, Ubima, for party registration.
Executives of the ADC made the call while briefing journalists in reaction to comments by the council chairman following the incident.
ADC officials claimed that hoodlums blocked the road and fired at security operatives, prompting a response from DSS, police, and civil defence personnel.
Vehicles were reportedly destroyed, phones stolen, and money taken from party members.
ADC State Chairman, Leader Bari insisted that the attackers were not members of the local vigilante group, OSPAC, as claimed by the council chairman, but criminals masquerading as such.
He urged security agencies to interrogate Wobodo, stating he, as chief security officer of the LGA, should have knowledge of the incident.
The ADC also reported previous threats and attacks, including the burning of its Ubima secretariat in the early hours of March 6, warning that party members had been targeted in past disruptions.
In response, Ikwerre LGA Chairman Charles Wobodo refuted the claims, alleging that OSPAC carried out routine checks and that security operatives within Amaechi’s convoy fired first.
He also denied involvement in the destruction of the ADC secretariat, attributing it to internal party disputes.
The ADC insisted on a thorough investigation and accountability for those responsible for both the convoy attack and prior incidents.
