Assassins raid home of APC national chairman, party says

In a news release by premiumtimesng The All Progressives Congress, APC, has
raised the alarm over the safety of its
National Chairman, John Oyegun, and his
family after his residence in Abuja was
raided in the early hours of Monday by yet
unknown invaders.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Monday
by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai
Mohammed, the party said while hoping
that a police investigation will unravel
what happened, it is either those who
attacked the residence at 1.30 am are
robbers or assassins.
It said while Mr. Oyegun was away
attending a previously unscheduled meeting
in Abuja when the invaders struck, his wife
who was at home was left deeply
traumatized by the raid.
”The facts of the raid as available so far
point to a sinister motive. For example, only
Chief Oyegun’s room was ransacked in the
whole house. Common sense dictates that if
the invaders were robbers, they would have
ransacked the whole house in search of
money and other valuables which they
might have believed were in the residence.
”The invaders, two burly men, removed the
window burglar bars to gain access to the
residence from the back, and then made
straight for the bedroom of our National
Chairman. Police security was in place at
the residence when the incident happened,”
APC said.
The party said while it does not know who
was behind the raid, it is worth noting that
the angry rhetoric and vitriolic personality
attacks that have been directed at the
opposition by the top leadership of the
ruling PDP and their spokesmen have
heightened tension and put the lives of
opposition politicians at risk, ahead of the
forthcoming elections.
It expressed gratitude to God for saving the
lives of the APC National Chairman and his
wife, wondering what would have happened
if the Chairman had been home at the time
of the raid....
