A section of the Eleme Local Government Council secretariat has been set ablaze as the newly elected council chairman resumed duties today
According to a phone conversation with former Ambassador Oji Ngofa who hails from Eleme, the newly elected chairman Brain Gokpa came to the council secretariat accompanied by his councilors and supporters but discovered that a few of the buildings in the council had been set ablaze.
So far no arrests have been made and the police are yet to release any statement on the situation.
There is a palpable fear of a potential outbreak of violence in some councils of the state.
