PDP Chieftain Stripped Naked At Wombo’s Birthday for sharing Ortom Handbills 

Wombo and family at the celebration 

There was confusion today during a thanksgiving service held at the Akume Atongo stadium in Kastina-Ala local government area of Benue State when angry supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stripped a chieftain of the party naked for distributing handbills of Samuel Ortom, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The occasion which had Governor Gabriel Suswam and other bigwigs in attendance was the birthday celebration and thanksgiving service organised by the special adviser to the governor on local government and chieftaincy affairs, Solomon Wombo to mark his 50th birthday.
Trouble started when a teenager was caught in the arena by PDP supporters, distributing handbills with Ortom’s message titled, “Rotation of governorship position among Benue churches: The time for the Pentecostal.”
Angered by the situation, the party supporters beat the distributor of the handbill mercilessly before he revealed that it one Akor, a PDP chieftain, that sent him.
Our sources gathered that the PDP chieftain, Akor Ikyegh a relation to the wife of the celebrant, was a youth leader in Ushongo LGA and personal aide to Prof. Daniel Iornem, a member of the Suswam campaign organisation.
The visibly infuriated party supporters held the PDP chieftain, beat him to stupor before finally stripping him naked.
One of the party supporters pulled a gun and was about to shoot when the police and men of the vigilante group quickly intervened and whisked the man away in a patrol vehicle.
It is worthy to note that there has been serious tension in the state since the ruling PDP lost the presidential election to the leading opposition APC, even as known PDP chieftains are making plans to defect while others are still pretending about it.
