BEVERLY HILLS, March 08, (THEWILL) – About eight armed men suspected to be assassins on Tuesday night invaded the house of embattled former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh.
They fired several shots and forcefully gained entrance into the compound after destroying a section of the spiked security fence of the house located at Prince and Princess Estate, Abuja.
They tied up security guards and a driver at the premises and attempted to gain access in the main building, but could not due to the security doors at the front and back entrances of the main house.
When they could not gain access into the main building, the gunmen beat up the security guards and ordered them at gunpoint to call out Metuh using their phones, but the guards insisted that he was not at home but had traveled to the South-east.
A statement issued on Wednesday by Metuh’s Special Assistant, Richard Ihediwa reports that “out of frustration, the invaders broke into other buildings in the premises including Chief Metuh’s out-office where they carted away some documents and electronic equipment. Their escape route trailed with blood as one of the armed men got injured in the course of their breaking through the spiked security fence.”
The former PDP spokesman was said to be shocked over the incident and has already made an official report to the police to unravel those behind the attack and intention manifested in the invasion.
“Chief Metuh’s guards and driver are already assisting the police in their investigation,” the statement added.
