Armed hoodlums yesterday stormed the Enugu State campaign office of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.).
The incident comes the next day after violence had been unleashed unleashed by the unknown at the APC rally in Okrika, Rivers State. A policeman was killed and 50 people were injured.
Punch reports that following yesterday’s incident several people sustained injuries.
The details are however sketchy as it is believed that the thug attack is linked with an earlier crisis within the party after the allegations that some members embezzled funds meant for Buhari’s Enugu rally.
Iyke Oloto who was reportedly beaten and whisked away, later allegedly sent an SMS where he identified the guilty party. The APC Youth Leader accused the party’s governorship candidate, Okey Ezea, of being behind the attack.
His message read:
“My National Chairman sir, greetings of the season. Please my name is Prince Ike Oloto, state youth leader and a state working committee member, Enugu State.
“I want to inform you of the injustice and discrimination done to us by our state chairman and guber candidate, Mr. Okey Ezea.
“Sir, our consistent demand to know the financial status of our party APC and insisting that our State SWC and SEC are carried along in the state, some of us including my humble self, is either suspended, excluded or sidelined in party affairs.
“My name was removed and replaced in BCO.
“More so, Barr Ezea guber candidate has been bought and settled by PDP with N600m.
“Right now, Barr Okey Ezea, is sabotaging APC as saboteur and PDP mole.
“All GMB funds and logistics to Enugu State has been dubiously channelled to his private account and not utilised.
“Mark my word Sir and quote me.
“Your true servant, Prince Ike Oloto.”
