The Abia State House of Assembly has directed Deputy Governor Engr. Ikechukwu Emetu to issue a formal apology for allegedly ordering an assault on Hon. Kalu Mba Nwoke, the representative for Ohafia South.
The motion, moved by Hon. Godwin Adiele of Ukwa West, gained strong support from other Assembly members, stressing the need for accountability.
The incident reportedly took place on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at the Ohafia Local Government Secretariat during the recently concluded local government elections.
According to Hon. Nwoke, the alleged assault occurred after he requested that election result sheets be provided before the voting process began.
