GODWIN EZEEMO'S PARTY CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR ESCAPES ASSASINATION

The Director of Publicity and Media, Godwin Ezeemo Campaign
Organisation. Mr. Okey Nwoke has said that he narrowly escaped death
when he was accosted by suspected dare devil killers at Igbo Ukwu
town, Anambra State yesterday.
Nwoke told Daily Sun in a telephone interview that he encountered the
suspected assassins close to the National Museum, Igbo Ukwu while on
his way to Ekwulobia to attend a church programme alongside other
members of the campaign group.
He said the suspected assassins who drove in a ash coloured Toyota
Camry vehicle sharply overtook him and blocked his car, while two
young men dressed in black flowing robes, came out of the car and
quickly pulled out their guns and pointed at him.
According to him, "They immediately told each other in their local
language 'That's him' 'That's him', "You are the one writing all these
nonsense". On realising that there was no vehicle behind him, Mr.
Nwoke said he engaged the car on reverse and quickly sped back as the
gunmen sprayed his car with bullets shattering the windscreen but he
miraculously escaped unhurt without any bullet wound.
The incident he said, was immediately reported to the Ekwulobia
Divisional Police Headquarters in Anambra state. The Divisional Police
Officer confirmed the incident to journalists and promised to fish out
the culprits behind the dastard act. The campaign director said it was
a miracle that he escaped the attack, wondering why any one would want
him dead.
Reacting to the incident Mr. Ezeemo the Progressives People
Alliance(PPA) gubernatorial candidate in the forthcoming Anambra
governorship elections condemned the attempt on the life of one of his
top aides.
According to him, 'This desperate attempt on the life of Okey Nwoke
shows the level we have sunk to as a people.
A violent man is the man who has run out of ideas and feels that the
only means to his goals is through violence." He enjoined his
supporters and the people of Anambra state not to be deterred by the
incident but to keep faith with hope, trust and diligence in the
pursuit to change Anambra for the benefit of all.
