Edo APC crisis: Gunmen Fires Shot At Edo State Deputy Governor


Dr. Pius Odubu, yesterday
escaped death by the whiskers when gunmen shot at
him. Odubu is contesting to replace Oshiomhole but Oshiomhole is supporting his Chief Economic adviser, Obaseki.

The attack happened at the secretariat of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in Auchi as the deputy
governor was receiving a delegation.

The attack took place a few minutes after Governor
Adams Oshiomhole and Odubu left a party organised by
Damian Lawani, representative of the Estako Central
Constituency in the House of Assembly.

The gunmen reportedly invaded the secretariat and
opened fire on the deputy governor and others at the
meeting.

Five persons were said to have been critically injured,
including the Guard Commander of the Deputy
Governor’s Police team who covered his boss during the
invasion.

Six delegates and three security details attached to
Odubu are said to be in critical conditions.

They are receiving treatment at Faith Medical Centre in
Auchi.
