Suspected thugs in the early hours of Monday vandalised the secretariat of Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Nonwa, Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State.

It was gathered that the SDP office was due for commissioning yesterday by the party’s gubernatorial candidate, Senator Magnus Ngei Abe.

Witnesses said the yet-to-be-identified thugs invaded the secretariat in the early hours of Monday, pulled down the rostrum, destroyed chairs and the bill boards of Senator Magnus Abe.

A statement by Parry Saroh Benson, spokesperson to Senator Magnus Abe, said the several attacks and threats to life and property of the SDP governorship candidate would not deter him from campaigning in Tai and other local government areas of the state.
