Gunmen at the weekend invaded the residence of the spokesperson of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), Ikenga Ugochinyere, at Akokwa in Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State.

According to a source from the area, the gunmen who came in large numbers were confronted in a fierce gun duel with Ugochinyeren’s police orderlies, preventing them from getting at him.

But, his uncle living close to him was said to have been killed during the melee and two others yet to be identified butchered to death.

Also, the gunmen were said to have set some houses around his residence on fire including vehicles.

The CUPP spokesperson in a viral social media outlet confirmed the killing of his uncle and the razing of houses in the area by the gunmen. (The Sun)
