Abia: Otti Escapes Assassination, as Policeman is Killed
Suspected gunmen yesterday morning stormed the
Abuja private guesthouse where Mr. Alex Otti, the Governorship candidate of the
All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the last election in Abia State
resides, just a few hours after he departed unannounced for Umuahia, the Abia
State capital.
Otti’s associates told pressmen that the gunmen
were angry when they didn’t find the politician after searching the residence.
They shot and killed one of the policemen at the guesthouse during the attack. The
gunmen struck at about 2.a.m.
The popular politician, who many Abians say was
robbed of victory at the Governorship election, is at the electoral tribunal
challenging the result as announced by INEC.
