It was a day of horror at Ogrute, Igbo Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State as a former ward Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state led a group of armed thugs to brutalize fellow party members.
Oceanicnews was reliably informed that Mr Nwokedi Ugwuoke the former ward chairman of Ozzi ward 7 who was recently removed by the leadership of the party over allegations of anti party activities, insubordination, among others, led the arm wielding group to unleash mayhem on party chairmen who were on their way to Enugu for a meeting.
It took the intervention of security men from the Ogrute Central Neighborhood Watch to restore normalcy along the Ogrute-Nsukka road where the incident occurred.
Efforts by our correspondent to speak with the injured proved abortive as they were in severe pains.
Among the victims are Mr Omeh Peter the chairman of Ozzi ward 2 who was partially blinded by the attackers and Mr Charles Mama the chairman of Ozzi ward 8 who had his head broken with sharp object. They are currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital in the state.
