DELTA APC CRISIS: Emerhor petitions IGP, says his life in danger

A factional leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor has petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, over alleged threat to his life.

The APC chieftain said there are plans to eliminate him before the 2019 general elections over his senatorial ambition and the internal crisis rocking the APC in the state.

Emerhor also in the petition alleged that a Senator representing Delta state, is the brain behind the assassination plot.

In the petition dated September 20, Emerhor said he got the information on the plot against his life from a concerned individual who advised him to beef up his security network following plots to assasinate him.

He said: “Upon making my own discret investigation, I was able to confirm from independent sources that the attack on my life is planned for either Delta or Abuja by two aides of the Senator whom are linked to the snatching of the mace at the national assembly.”

He called for urgent and immediate police protection, while appealing for prompt investigation and arrest of the suspects behind the threat.
