APC disclosed this in a statement issued Monday in Abuja by the National Secretary of its Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee CECPC. The party equally condemned what it described as the wanton attacks on police personnel and formations in Abia, Imo, Ebonyi, Anambra states, and Rivers State.

“We stand with the Nigeria Police Force and families of the victims in this difficult time as we mourn the deaths of innocent and dedicated security personnel simply carrying out their duty of protecting life and property.

“In Imo state, the attack on the Governor’s residence is an attack on democracy and constituted authority serving the interest of the good people of Imo state. “While we are still in shock over the ugly turn of events in the state, the party sympathizes with Sen. Hope Uzodimma and all affected in the bestial attack.

We have since learned that there were fatalities with others injured and maimed during the attack. “The party and indeed our security services will definitely not watch helplessly as some persons and interests attempt to turn Imo state to a killing field.
