Chidi Lloyd, was a former leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly, who almost killed his fellow lawmaker, Michael Chinda, in a 2013 House fracas fueled by the infamous political rivalry between former Governor Rotimi Amaechi and estranged ally, incumbent Governor Nyesom Wike.

Lloyd, in defense of the camp of Amaechi, then Governor, had in a viral video viciously struck fellow House member, Chinda on the skull with the House Mace, resulting in severe head injuries which required medical tourism abroad to remedy.

Lloyd stood trial for the matter when Wike became governor until beginning of second term in 2019 when Wike offered olive branch to those he said he offended and demanded same from them. The governor began by withdrawing the case against Lloyd.
