APC condemns attack on Oshiomhole’s Benin residence
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned Saturday evening’s attack on the Benin residence of the Party’s National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole by political thugs.
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, who made the condemnation in a statement he issued in Abuja on Sunday and a copy of which was sent The DEFENDER, call on the police high command and other relevant security agencies to investigate the matter with a view to bringing the perpetrators to book.
“Although, the APC National Chairman has rightly called for calm after the apparent attempt on his life, we call on the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mohammad Adamu and other relevant security outfits to investigate the ugly incident and prosecute the sponsors and attackers.
“In Edo State, just as in any other state, everyone must be free to go about their normal and legitimate activities without harassment, intimidation, threat to life and property.
“It is clear that the sponsors of the attack are bent on causing crisis in the state in pursuit of their desperate and unpopular political interests. Human life is greater that anyone’s political ambition,” the APC said.
