The incident, according to an eyewitness who would not want his name mentioned in print, occurred at 10.18pm, on Monday. On a visit in the area by the APC stalwart, the hoodlums were said to have opened fire on him and his Ebubeagu orderlies, and pitted them in a gun duel. Sensing that the alleged AK-47 wielding hoodlums had overpowered his pump action-wielding Ebubeagu orderlies, the party chieftain retreated and proceeded to Abakaliki, capital of Ebonyi State.
