The National Publicity Secretary of APGA, Barrister Tex Okechukwu, in a statement yesterday said,” the attack was cowardly, dastardly, callous, unwarranted and premeditated.

“We wonder why any right-thinking person or persons should ever contemplate such a fruitless and unnecessary action against an innocent man who has contributed immensely to national development,” the party said.

“APGA calls on the security agencies to act swiftly and unmask all those involved in this callous and ignominious act by bringing them to book with promptness,” the party said.
