Metuh Cries Out as Armed Men Invade His Home

The former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh, has said armed men suspected to be assassins invaded his  house located at Prince and Princess Estate, Abuja on Tuesday night.

In a statement signed by Metuh’s media aide, Mr. Richard Ihediwa, and made available to THISDAY, he said the invaders broke into other buildings in the premises including an outer-office where they carted away some documents and electronic equipment.

While giving account of the incident, Ihediwa said the armed men numbering about eight, fired several shots and forcibly gained entrance into the compound after destroying a section of its spiked security fence.

According to Ihediuwa, the invading armed men out of frustration, broke into other buildings in the premises including Metuh’s out-office where they carted away some documents and electronic equipment.“They tied up security guards and a driver at the premises and attempted to gain access in the main building, but could not due to the security doors at the front and back entrances of the main house.
“When they could not gain access into the main building, they beat up the security guards and ordered them at gunpoint to call out Metuh using their phones, but the guards insisted that he was not at home but had travelled to the east.

“Their escape route trailed with blood as one of the armed men got injured in the course of their breaking through the spiked security fence.

Already, a shocked Metuh had made an official report to the police to unravel those behind the attack and intention manifested in the incidence. his guards and driver are already assisting the police in their investigation,” he said.
