Awka – Unknown gunmen on Wednesday, invaded Isuofia Town Hall, where Professor Chukwuma Soludo, a gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) was holding a meeting with Isuofia youths.

Soludo is an indigene of Isuofia in Aguata Council Area of Anambra State and was said to be discussing strategies with the Community’s youths on how they will support his electioneering campaigns.

A source at the scene who is a member of All Soludo Support Group confirmed to TNC correspondent, that Soludo was at the meeting when the gunmen invaded.

According to the source,  the meeting was progressing as planned until the gunmen arrived, opened fire on the operatives and afterwards, collected their guns.
