Speaking on the attack, Oluomo, said the hoodlums numbering over 100, stormed his office, wounded party members and vandalised property. 

“Over 100 hoodlums stormed my constituency office this afternoon, wounded party members that are with me and destroyed my office and my free school buses. They are still milling around my office and the town as I speak now saying let Oluomo come out now and we teach him a lesson of how not to disobey “Oga” on consensus,” he said. The deputy speaker said he was later rescued by policemen who whisked him to the Sango area command of the police for protection
