Barely three weeks after the Akokwa house of the spokesperson of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, was attacked by gunmen, which led to the death of four persons including his uncle, unknown armed men have again invaded Ugochinyere’s house in Imo State on Tuesday.
Recall that on Saturday, January 14, 2023 in Akokwa, Imo State, a motorcade conveying unknown gunmen invaded Ugochinyere’s private residence and burnt down the building, cars and killed his uncle and three others.
Ugochinyere, the House of Representatives candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for the Ideato North and Ideato South federal constituency, had then raised the alarm about the attack by the gunmen at his residence, calling for help.
Ugochinyere raised another alarm of attack by armed men in an “SOS” message he sent to journalists on WhatsApp.
“SOS, WE ARE UNDER ATTACK AGAIN. MY HOUSE IS UNDER ATTACK AGAIN BY ARMED MEN WITH EXPLOSIVES AND HEAVY GUNFIRE,” Ugochinyere wrote.
It was alleged that, the latest incident has thrown panic among members of his campaign team.
Efforts to reach the spokesperson for the Imo State Police Command had not been successful as of the time of filing this report.
