Attack On Jonathan’s Home: PDP, APC Demand Probe
BY VICTOR BUORO, ABUJA – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has charged the Federal Government to immediately track and apprehend the gunmen that violently attacked the country home of former President Goodluck Jonathan, in Otuoke, Bayelsa State.
This is as the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), demanded from security and intelligence agencies a swift, sweeping and thorough probe of the shocking incident.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP described the attack on the home of the former President as extremely disturbing and demanded for an extensive investigation into the incident.
The statement stated; “Our party insists that the gun attack is a direct threat on the life and safety of the former President and members of his family and as such the assailants must be tracked down.”
The party commiserated with the families of the security personnel killed in the attack and urged Security agencies to go after the assailants as well as rescue those reportedly abducted during the attack.
In its own reaction, the APC while condemning the attack in its entirety, called on security agencies to fish out the perpetrators and their sponsors.
The APC in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu extended condolences to the family of the soldier who reportedly died in the attack and wished the injured soldier a full and speedy recovery.
