Archbishop Obinna escapes thugs’ rampage
An Archbishop was nearly beaten during a burial that almost turned into a political rally in Imo state, Archbishop Obinna had taken the microphone to address the crowd when the incident happened. While speaking on how citizens of the state should vote, he reminded them of the bad state of roads in the state.
However, his words didn’t sit well with Jeff Nwoha, a political appointee of the governor of Imo, who took the microphone from the hands of the Archbishop to defend the ruling party in the state, APC. A member of the opposition party, PDP, also stepped on stage to challenge the ruling party. This led to thugs allegedly from Jeff’s camp to rush to the stage forcing the clergy man to retire to his seat. Read story as shared on Facebook below.
