Earlier, Victor Isaiah, caretaker chairman, Brass Local Government Area, had told journalists that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, secretariat in the area was attacked by some thugs.

Mr Isaiah alleged that the thugs were loyal to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

He called on the Inspector-General of Police to investigate the violence in the island and bring the perpetrators to book.

Mr Isaiah, in company of a senator, Ben Murray-Bruce (PDP-Bayelsa East), said that PDP supporters in Brass were in dire need of protection, following the proposed visit of APC chieftain, Timipre Sylva at the weekend.

Mr Murray-Bruce said he would raise the matter on the floor of the Senate when the National Assembly reconvened.
