The All Progressives Congress yesterday condemned the attack on the residence of the Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission for Kogi State, Gabriel Longpet.
Mr. Longpet’s residence in Lokoja, the state capital, was invaded by some yet-to-be-identified gunmen in the early hours of Friday.
Announcing the attack, the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, said the REC was hale and hearty, adding that the security personnel attached to him were able to hold off the attackers until reinforcements arrived.
