ABAKALIKI — At least 10 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were injured after unidentified hoodlums attacked a political gathering in Ikwuator Idembia, Ezza South Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

The victims were reportedly receiving treatment in various hospitals following the incident, which occurred during a rally organised to welcome a former member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ifeanyi Nworie, into the PDP.

According to eyewitnesses, the event was initially scheduled to hold at a village square but was disrupted by the attackers. The gathering was subsequently relocated to Nworie’s private residence, where the assailants allegedly followed and attacked participants.
