One of the aggrieved leaders of the PDP who opened the parallel secretariat, Alhaji Bisi Olopoeyan, when contacted, confirmed the attack to our correspondent. He accused a leader of the party and a leader of the Park Management System of being behind the attack.

He said, ”Even if they wore masks, we know who they are and who sent them. They have destroyed this party with the way their boss is behaving now.

“The police were even here before we came. We learnt that those living around here saw the hoodlums and called the police on the telephone.”
