chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Council, LGA leaders of the

PDP/GDI were instructed to ensure that all units of the registration

centres are physically attacked with the assurance that the police in

Rivers State is fully behind them".APC called on all security agencies

in Rivers State to take serious note of the information and do the

needful to avoid the recourse to self-help by members of the leading

opposition party as nobody or group has absolute monopoly of violence.

"We call on our Registration Officers (ROs) and the Supervisors to

carry on with the exercise without any fear whatsoever while I call on

the police to provide you with adequate security as you conduct the

exercise", the statement concluded.

But the crowd packing the Abidjan venue is relaxed and happy to be part of this haven of tolerance on a hostile continent. "In a gay club, we are much freer than in straight places," 22-year-old student Jacques tells AFP, looking on as three men sway their hips to Ivorian music on the dance floor.

The strict social codes prevailing in Ivory Coast apply here too. The patrons include several transvestites, one a 20-year-old teacher who goes by the name Malika, and who has been living as a w...
