Sen. Gershom Bassey, who represents Cross River South in the Senate and former Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba, were some of their victims. They even set Ndoma-Egba’s vehicles on fire.
The hoodlums also vandalised the offices of the Department of Petroleum Resources, the NLC, INEC and supermarkets. (NAN)
