The All Progressives Congress (APC) has raised the alarm over the safety of its National Chairman, Chief 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, Alhaji 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 Chief 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.
