At least five persons attached to the convoy of the APGA candidate are reportedly still missing while two others sustained gunshot injuries.
The incident happened on Thursday evening in Okpoto, a community in Ishielu Local Government Area of the state.
“In the process, his driver was shot at and, as he bled profusely, the ADC swiftly maneuvered and drove off the vehicle with all tyres already punctured and flat down till he managed to get to Pele Filling Station,” he added. Stanley Okoro-Emegha, the security consultant to Ebonyi State Government, however, denied the allegation.
“Odoh is an indigene of Ebonyi State and has all the right to contest for any position he wants. It is left for the people to vote for him or reject him,” he said.
