Ebonyi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Thursday, has accused the All Progressives Congress, APC, for attacking its members who testified at the Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Abuja.
Augustine Nwazunku, Chairman , Caretaker Committee of the PDP in the State, disclosed in a statement to newsmen on Thursday in Abakaliki, alleged that the PDP witnesses were attacked by suspected APC hitmen on while returning back home.
“Some were brutally attacked by APC hired thugs, with their families, essentially chased out of their homes while business interests of our members’ farm were poisoned with yet to be verified chemicals. Over twenty thousand fish fingerlings were physically damaged in some of the episodes of attacks,”
The PDP Chieftain also alleged that APC leaders have been harrassing PDP faithfuls against their plans to testify as witnesses before the Tribunal sitting in Abuja.
According to the statement, “the APC government has threatened to deal with any Ebonyi citizen seen to be hob-nobbing with the members of PDP in Ebonyi State” .
But the State Chairman of the APC, Stanley Okoro-Emegha, described the allegations as unfounded and challenged the PDP to bring up evidence of the alleged attacks on its members before the public.
