SUSPECTED THUGS! Invade APC secretariat, cart away cash and other valuables
The Police Command in Abia State, on Friday, arrested two hoodlums suspected to be political thugs after they allegedly invaded the All Progressives Congress secretariat in the state, and cart away cash and other valuables belonging to the party.
The state’s chairman of the party, Honorable Donatus Nwamkpa, who spoke with journalists on the incident, accused two chieftains of the party, Chief Ikechi Emenike and Dr. Emmanuel Ndukwe of leading thugs to invade the secretariat.
The state chairman described the alleged invasion of the party’s office as shocking and commended the state’s commissioner of police for responding swiftly to the distress call put to him.
Nwamkpa said it was the early intervention of the police that curbed the bloodshed that would have ensued, stressing that Emenike, who was suspended by his ward will remain suspended.
He said,
“This briefing is arising as a result of the ugly incident of today where one High Chief Ikechi Emenike accompanied by Dr. Emmanuel Ndukwe, and Engr. Okpechi led a group of hoodlums to the party’s secretariats while the leaders of the party were meeting at Wonderland event centre, Aba road, Umuahia.
“This invaders led by one Ikechi Emenike broke into the party office and carted away the valuables of the party, cash and photography of the party leadership.
“As we speak to you now, we cannot see anything, only the picture of the President is here, the picture of the National Chairman and the state chairman have been removed. The secretariats was actually invaded. We are yet to assess the amount of money so far taken out of our purse.
“As I speak to you , it came to the leadership of APC in the state as a shock. And we needed the intervention of the police to drive away the hoodlums from the secretariats. We called the commissioner of police, we thank him for responding promptly and this has saved Abia from bloodshed.
“Let us say it clear that the so called Ikechi Emenike has no input in this Secretariate, and cannot reap what he did not sow. Chief Ikechi Emenike was duly suspended by his ward and remain suspended in the party.”
