This has resulted in the killing of undisclosed number of persons. Also, buildings are reported to have been set ablaze.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur efforts to get back to our candidate, Ikenga Ugochinyere, who was present at his residence when this attack began and who had personally alerted us to the attack, has proven abortive. However, a torrent of messages, a while ago, from Ikenga\u2019s close aides bore some deeply pathetic lines like: \u201cEverywhere is on fire! They are killing us! We are going, going!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Imo PDP calls on security agencies to immediately intervene and quell the attack on our candidate and our Party members at his residence in Akokwa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigerians and international community are to recall that on December 23, 2022, there was an attack on the convoy of our candidate by clearly-identified agents of the Imo State Government. It is shocking that despite our demand for the arrest and prosecution of those involved in that onslaught, nothing has been done by the security till this moment.
