OWERRI — Unidentified hoodlums reportedly attacked the Imo State secretariats of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) and the neighbouring All People’s Party (APP) in the early hours of Sunday, destroying billboards and allegedly attempting to gain access to the premises.

The incident occurred at the parties’ secretariats located along Okigwe Road in Owerri at about 3:00 a.m., according to sources.

It was gathered that the attackers fled after security personnel on duty raised an alarm, preventing them from entering the buildings.
