Imo Decides: Hoodlums Attack APC Agents, Steal N1.5million

Hoodlums on Saturday attacked the agents of the All Progressive Congress (APC) at All Saints Anglican Church, Egbu and carted away over N1.5 million.

The hoodlums had walked into the church premises housing four polling units in their numbers amidst sporadic shooting and demanded the money from the APC officials.

Eye witness have it that people including policemen and journalists were running helter-skelter amidst heavy shooting.

A voter, Okey, told journalists the gunmen had walked into the premises like regular voters only to spring a surprise by pulling out their weapons while policemen took to their heels.

He said “We had just finished complaining about the APC agent’s low bargaining for votes when these boys walked in and demanded for the money that was about to be shared amidst heavy shooting, while everyone took to their heels.

“Everything happened in less than two minutes as everyone had run away. They simply walked away into their vehicles, and sped off”, Okey said.

According to him, the agents were sharing the money amongst themselves before the incident.
