Suspected political thugs on Monday attacked a former Vice Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists in Ebonyi State, Comrade Benjamin Nworie.
Nworie, who is the state correspondent of THISDAY Newspapers, alleged that the attackers were loyalists of the Chairman of Ishielu Local Government Area, Mrs. Peace Agwu, an allegation the LG boss denied.
In a petition addressed to the Ebonyi State Council of the NUJ and copied to the Correspondents’ Chapel, Nworie stated that three assailants stormed his residence in the early hours of the day, knocked on his gate, and confronted him before launching the attack.
“I was attacked in the early hours of today (Monday) by three thugs allegedly linked to the chairman of Ishielu Local Government at my residence in Ugwuechara, Abakaliki,” he said. Punch
