Security agents in Abia State are currently on a manhunt for APC Governorship candidate, Mr Uche Ogah, and former Governor Orji Uzor Kalu, following discrete information on the importation of more than 3,000 armed masked thugs into the state.
This follows anonymous tip off received at the joint security operations center in Umuahia from Uturu in Isuikwuato Local Government Area and Igbere in Bende Local Government Area.
The thugs who were brought in from outside Abia state, were said to have been camped at the homes of the APC Chieftains under the cover that they were operatives of Department of State Services (DSS) allegedly operating with an assassination and abduction hit list provided by leaders of APC in the state.
As at the time of going to press, the whereabouts of Uche Ogah and Orji Kalu are unknown but sources at the security command center confirmed that they are on the trail of both men and will soon apprehend them and the thugs.
