Some hoodlums suspected to be political thugs have attacked the house of Pastor Sunday Atabo, Zonal Chirman of Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kogi State.
The incident happened at his country home in Aja-Odi Agojoeju, Ofu Local Government Area (LGA).
A witness said the hoodlums, wielding dangerous weapons such as AK- 47, cutlasses and rods in their numbers invaded his house on Saturday night and beat him to the state of coma.
Atabo, who is also the General Overseer of Bible Believers church, Agojeju-Efakwu in Ofu LGA, is said to be currently critically ill and admitted at an undisclosed hospital
“The hoodlums stormed his house…with dangerous weapons, including AK-47s, locally made guns, cutlasses and big sticks. They beat him mercilessly to stupor.
“Thereafter, they charged towards his property, destroying his cars and other source of livelihood,” a family member, James Adaji, said. 
According to the state secretary of the party, Dr Arome Okeme, the hoodlums wanted to set the house ablaze.
“But for God, they tried to set his house on fire with his family in it, but the spark wouldn’t light. Currently, Hon. Sunday Atabor is in a state of semi-consciousness, traveling from consciousness to unconsciousness”, said Okeme
