The Anambra State Deputy Governor, Dr Onyekachukwu Ibezim was on Saturday literally rescued from angry youths who were dissatisfied with his unrighteous involvement in the bye election process within the Anambra South senatorial bye election in Osumenyi, Nnewi South LGA.

The deputy governor was held hostage for above one hour twenty minutes before news got across to security operatives and Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu came to his rescue.

The angry youths, reporters learnt “noted their shock and surprise that despite the alleged neglect of the incumbent Prof Charles Soludo’s administration of the senatorial district, the deputy governor, Dr Ibezim working in harmony with the State Commissioner for Environment, Mr Felix Odumegwu were accused of being in the area to induce votes in favour of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). Hence prevented it happening.

Youths from the community who are dissatisfied with the development actually blocked the Deputy Governor’s convoy.

“The governor’s assistants beat me up, infact, rough handled me, snatched my phone and want to run away before the youths came to my aid.” A victim said.

The youths said the Deputy Governor’s presence in Osumenyi far away from his Awka residence is an abberation.

The Deputy Governor in an interview with journalists said that the issue would be handled legally.

At one of the centers-Awo, Ezinifite voting center, more than one hundred members of the State vigilante and security operatives, aka, Udo-Ga-Achi prevented journalists, observers and election monitors from going into the venue. They reportedly claimed that “our deputy governor is inside with the INEC officials.

Even the arrival of the APC Governorship flag bearer, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu who came in when the SOS alarm by citizens reached him, arrived to broker peace.

The security operatives instantly cocked their guns, waving them menacingly at the capacity crowd who were there to cast their votes and protect same. Everyone instantly took to their heels.

It nearly became a free for all fight.
