The All Progressives Congress
(APC) says the attack within the country home of former President Goodluck
Jonathan at Otuoke, Ogbia local government area of Bayelsa state, must be
thoroughly investigated.
Gunmen invaded the ex-president’s
residence on Tuesday, leading to the
death of a soldier.
In a statement, Lanre Issa-Onilu,
APC national publicity secretary, condemned the attack, saying it came as a
shock.
“Following reports that gunmen
attacked the country home of former President Goodluck Jonathan in Otuoke,
Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, APC demands from security and intelligence
agencies a swift, sweeping and thorough probe of the shocking incident,” the
statement read.
“The APC joins other well-meaning
Nigerians in condemning the attack in its entirety. We call on security
agencies to fish out the perpetrators and their sponsors.
“We extend condolences to the
family of the soldier who reportedly died in the attack. The Party also wishes
the other injured soldier a full and speedy recovery.”
President Muhammadu Buhari had
put a call to Jonathan over the attack on his country home.
Buhari expressed sadness over the
“tragic and unfortunate attack”, assuring the ex-president of the safety of his
life as well as those of other Nigerians.
