“The six arrested are the people that destroyed APC billboards and we are working hard to apprehend those that carried out the destruction of PDP billboards last week too. Since it was both parties that made allegations against each other, there is a need for proper investigation.”
Mr Ikoro urged parties to shun all forms of violence ahead of the governorship poll.
