The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned Saturday evening’s attack on the Benin residence of the party’s National Chairman and former governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, by some unknown political hoodlums. A statement published by the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressive Congress, Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu, said though the APC National Chairman had disclosed that was no cause for alarm over the ruthless attack on his life, charging to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mohammad Adamu and other relevant security agencies to investigate the incident and bring the the sponsors and attackers to books.
“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,” Issa-Onilu noted.
