Thugs attack APC official, set house ablaze

………..Some thugs invaded the house of the Legal Adviser of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Waziri Enwongulu beat him to a pulp and set his brother’s house on fire at Wakama Ward in Nasarawa.

…………While narrating his ordeal on Saturday in Wakama when officials of APC and stakeholders visited him, Enwongulu explained that the reason behind those unidentified men attacked him and burnt his brother’s house is unknown.

……….He said; “It was around 1.10 a.m today that I heard some voices at my door that I should come out or they will set my elder brother’s house ablaze including me.

……..“When I came out of the house, I saw four people with knives, cutlasses and big sticks.

…………..“They told me that APC changed the result of Chairmanship and Councillorship election in Wakama ward.

……..”They asked me to lay down and I complied, and they beat me to a coma. When I laid down, two of the men were guarding me and the other two went and set my elder brother’s (Mr Paul Angbazo) house that I am living in ablaze.

…………“As you can see, everything was burnt but I thank God for saving my life.”

…….Enwongulu added that the unindentified men have also threatened to kill him.

…..,….“They asked me to call Dr James Angbazo, the former APC gubernatorial aspirant that I should tell him my last word on earth.
“And when I called his (Angbazo) number, he did not pick and they asked me again to call any of my brother’s to tell him that they will kill me.”

…….He also said that the unidentified men also asked him to give them money “but I told them that I have no money”.

……While sympathising with Enwongulu, Chairman of APC in the area, Mr Usman Gboble, urged him to continue to be prayerful, adding that the party would report the incident to the appropriate authority for necessary action.

The party Chairman and other stakeholders of the party had officially informed the Aren Akun, Alhaji Usman Galadima Umbugadu, and the District Head of Wakama, Mr Adams Makka-Nangba, about the attack.

……It could be recalled that the Nasarawa State Independent Eelectoral Commission had on October 7th declared that the APC has won all the 13 chairmanship and 147 councillorship positions in the Local Government election conducted on Oct. 6th, 2021.
