Gunmen said to be political thugs have again attacked a meeting of Labour Party members in Enugu State.
The attack, it was gathered, took place on Saturday at Nomeh Primary School in Nkanu East Local Government Area of the state.
That was the third time in less than two months that gunmen would be attacking supporters of the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the state.
The state chairman of the party, Mr Casmir Agbo, who confirmed the attack to Punch on the telephone on Monday, said the party had reported the incident to the appropriate quarters.
“Our members were attacked by gunmen wielding AK-47 rifles in Nomeh Primary School on Saturday,” he simply said.
Efforts by Punch to get the reaction of the state police command were unsuccessful as the command’s spokesman, Daniel Ndukwe, did not take his calls.
