THE campaign
team of the PDP candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu was yesterday attacked at
Jattu, the home town of the APC deputy governorship candidate, Philip Shaibu in
Etsako West local government by youths allegedly said to be sympathetic to the
APC who destroyed two vehicles in the process.

attack it was learnt followed an arson attack by some alleged APC supporters on
Monday night of the residence of Mr. Emma Musa, the PDP Coordinator in the same
locality.
The two
vehicles destroyed in Jattu during the attack included a Mercedes Benz C class
and a Toyota Sienna. The attack happened as the campaign convoy was leaving the
town but ran into a two-vehicle convoy of vehicles branded in APC colours that
were chanting anti-PDP slogans.

promptly reported to the Nigerian Police Area Command in Auchi by the PDP
candidate in the company of the State chairman, Chief Dan Orbih.

bewildered Musa whose residence was attacked told journalists that he was happy
that he was not at home when the incident took place but regretted that he lost
such personal effects as his plasma TV sets, refrigerators, beds and clothes as
well as cash. He also said that his younger brother, Orbo Johnbull Musa, who
was fast asleep when the apartment was attacked and suffered mild burns on his
two legs, was in good health.

Mr. Imasuen who is the Divisional Crime Officer in charge of the Nigerian
Police station at Iyuku, which is a walk from the residence that was set
ablaze, ordered that the matter be properly recorded pending investigations.VANGUARDNGR
