Alleged Attack On Prof Soludo’s Campaign Train Not True – Media Team

The media team of Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo, the governor candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APGA) in the November 6, Anambra State governorship election, has denied yesterday reported attack at Ihiala as totally false and should be disregarded.

In a statement made available to ABN TV, Joe Anatune, Head of Soludo Media Office, said while the unfortunate incident was happening, Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo and Governor Willie Obiano were both at Ogbaru at a campaign rally organised by APGA and not at Ihiala as being insinuated.

“However, it was reported that a combined team of policemen and Soldiers this afternoon repelled an attack by unknown gunmen at Odoata Primary School, Ihiala, where the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), was scheduled to organise a campaign rally for the November 6 gubernatorial election in Anambra.

“It is also, however, important to note that while the news being peddled around that the campaign train was attacked is therefore untrue and should be disregarded.”

“Prof Soludo applauds the professionalism and gallantry of the combined security agencies who repelled the attackers and expressed his deep sympathy to the innocent people who were attacked.”

“In the same vein, he commends the adequate security Governor Willie Obiano has put in place to protect life and property in Anambra State,” the statement read in part.
