The lawmaker representing Obio/Akpor constituency II in the Rivers State
House of Assembly, Michael Chinda, may be flown abroad for further
medical treatment following injuries he sustained in Tuesday outbreak of
violence in the House. Video clips from the fracas showed the leader
of the House of Assembly, Chidi Lloyd, dealing blows to Chinda with what
looked like a mace after he too had been dealt a similar fate earlier.
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leadership in the State said the
Lawmaker cannot speak as a result of the injury to his face. This was
made known yesterday by Jerry Needam, Senior Special Assistant to the
party chairman, Mr. Felix Obuah, who criticized Mr. Lloyd for causing
grievous bodily harm to his colleague.
