A supporter of President Muhammad Buhari and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Elvis Omoiri, is currently battling for his life after a neighbour allegedly stabbed him multiple times with a broken bottle for jubilating over the President ‘s victory at the election tribunal.
The incident happened in Effurun in Uvwie council area of Delta state when Omoiri was allegedly attacked during an argument between him and his neighbour, identified as Best Uduophori, over the President’s tribunal victory on Wednesday.
His attacker, believed to be a People’s Democratic Party (PDP) member, runs a bar around the Okoloba area of Effurun and is currently at large.
The victim is said to be struggling to survive at an undisclosed hospital over injuries he sustained on his neck, head and other parts of his body.
Residents who witnessed the gory incident described the attack as inhuman and unwarranted.
According to one MC Paul, he received report of the “attempted murder of one Elvis Omoiri by a neighbour, Best Uduophori who runs a beer parlor in Okoloba, Effurun, Uvwie LGA, Delta State, over a mere political argument. What are we turning politics into in this country? You want to kill someone over Buhari and Atiku tribunal matter? This is animalistic!
“You break a bottle and stab a fellow countryman almost to the point of death over APC and PDP matters? So, someone doesn’t have the right to personal opinion again in Nigeria?” he asked in his social media page.
The police are said to be in hot pursuit of the alleged culprit even as they say that investigation has begun earnestly.
