According to eyewitnesses, the assailants poured gunfire on the politician’s home before whisking him away with the gunshot wound he suffered. It is also claimed that the gunmen kidnapped an All Progressive Congress (APC) leader during the raid.

“We don’t know what is happening again, people are running away, we are tired of what is happening here, they shot the sole administrator and took him away, we have complained several times and nothing is being done” an eyewitness said

This comes less than a week after the residence of Coalition of United Political Parties spokesman Ugochinyere Imo was assaulted in Akokwa village in Ideato North LGA, killing three people and destroying 33 cars.

The state police leadership has not yet responded to this development.

Below is a video of his home on fire…
