Hon Charles Anyanwu, the All Progressives Congress House of Assembly Candidate for Etche Constituency in Rivers State, narrowly escaped death after arsonists attacked his home in Port Harcourt.
He was said to have survived an attack a few days ago in Etche, his local government area, when some unidentified gunmen opened fire on his convoy while he was on a campaign rally.
According to sources close to the candidate, arsonists broke into Anyanwu’s home and detonated an improvised substance suspected to be dynamites.
There were no fatalities, but the candidate’s buildings and property were destroyed.
SP Grace Iringe Koko, Public Relations Officer for the Rivers State Police Command, said the matter was being investigated
