Breaking! Gunmen attack House of Assembly candidate’s home [Photos]

Gunmen on Saturday attacked the home of Nnaemeka Obiaraeri, the Imo State House of Assembly candidate for Okigwe Local Government Area (LGA) under the platform of the Labour Party.

THE PUBLISHER NIGERIA learned that the attack occurred in the early hours of today (Saturday), with the assailants burning down his home and cars parked in his compound.

Speaking on the attack, Obiaraeri blamed it on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

His statement partly reads: “Three Hilux trucks loaded with bandits and killers, went on a spree of burning houses and maiming people without anyone stopping them.

“I don’t know who I offended and why anyone will target me for destruction. I have not eaten anyone’s yam or fish.

“This is another evidence of the failure of the APC Governments in Imo State and Aso Rock, Nigeria to live up to their oath of office of protecting the lives and properties of law-abiding Nigerians. Total failure of governments and leaders.”
