A member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and his family have reportedly been attacked, with their residence set ablaze in Rivers State.

The incident has raised concerns among members of the opposition party, who described the attack as a serious threat to political participation and the safety of citizens.

The attack reportedly occurred amid heightened political activities and tensions in the state.

The ADC condemned the incident and called on security agencies to immediately investigate the circumstances surrounding the attack.

The party urged the authorities to identify those responsible and ensure that they are brought to justice.

ADC also appealed to political actors and their supporters to avoid violence and actions capable of escalating tensions in the state.

The party stressed that citizens should be free to belong to and support any political organisation without fear of intimidation or attacks.

It called on the Rivers State Government and security agencies to strengthen the protection of opposition members and other residents.

The affected family was also urged to remain calm while authorities conduct investigations into the incident.

ADC maintained that political disagreements should be resolved through dialogue and lawful democratic processes rather than violence.

The party further called on residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to security agencies as efforts continue to restore calm.
