The All Progressive Congress has lost two stalwarts in an invasion and attack on the party’s meeting in Enugu South LGA.

The meeting was reported to be attacked by Gunmen who gruesomely murder two and abducted another chieftain of the party while others sustained bullet wounds.

CEOAFRICA gathered that the deceased and others were having a reconciliation meeting at the party office at Ward III Obeagu Awkunanaw, Enugu South Local Government Area when the gunmen struck.

A source at the meeting told newsmen that the meeting was called to reconcile the two factions of the party in the ward as part of the ongoing efforts to unite all members of the party in the State.

“The meeting was underway when these men invaded the place and shot and killed the immediate past Enugu South local government chairman of the party.

“Ezeoha was also elected as the incumbent state youth leader in one of the factions of the party. One other person I don’t know his name was equally killed instantly.

“Hon. Monday Ogbonna (Okwadike), a factional chairman of the party in our area was kidnapped.

“One person is lying critically wounded at the hospital and we don’t know his fate,” the source said.

The incident is said to have thrown the state chapter of the APC into mourning.
