Thugs have assaulted the Sole Administrator of Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State, Goodluck Iheamnacho.

In the viral video posted on Facebook, some of the thugs could be seen flogging the administrator with cutlasses.

Another man could be seen in the video, lying next to the administrator, raising his hands and begging the thugs.“Sign immediately, sign your signature,” one of the thugs shouted in the video, ordering Mr Iheamnacho to append his signature on what appeared to be a prepared resignation letter.“Confirm his signature,” he added.

The council administrator could be seen being flogged several times with a cutlass before his hands were tied with a rope.

In the video, which appeared to have been shot at the council office, the administrator is surrounded by the thugs.
