The All Progressives Congress House of Assembly Candidate for Etche Constituency in Rivers State, Hon Charles Anyanwu, has escaped death by a whisker after arsonists attacked his residence in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
He was said to have survived an attack a few days ago when some yet-to-be identified gunmen shot at his convoy while he was on a campaign rally in Etche, his local government area.
According to sources close to the candidate, the arsonists invaded Anyanwu’s residence and detonated an improvised substance suspected to be dynamites.
Destiny Benebo, a member of Governor Wike's Grassroots Development Initiative (GDI) was caught with dynamites.
