party’s office, as well as the houses of some
members, in Ohaukwu.
According to him, “These agents of
destabilisation in company of over 20
policemen, attacked the houses of some
members in this area.
“They burnt the party’s office and destroyed
several properties such as furniture and
posters, as the policemen who wore police
vests and wielded AK 47 rifles, shot at the
houses of our members.”

“it is clear that the forces of good and evil
are presently competing for the soul of
Ebonyi.”

report the attack to the police, but will do so
once the chairman, who is away in Abuja,
returns to the state.
