“They told me that APC changed the result of Chairmanship and Councillorship election in Wakama ward.

“They asked me to lay down and I complied, and they beat me to comer.

“When I laid down, two of the men were guarding me and the other two went and set my elder brother’s (Mr Paul Angbazo) house that I am living in ablaze.

“As you can see, everything was burnt but I thank God for saving my life,” he said.

Enwongulu said that they unindentified men have also threatened to kill him.

“They asked me to call Dr James Angbazo, the former APC gubernatorial aspirant that I should tell him my last word on earth.

“And when I called his (Angbazo) number, he did not pick and they asked me again to call any of my brother’s to tell him that they will kill me,” he added.

He said that the unidentified men also asked him to give them money “but I told them that I have no money”.
