Lee Maeba, the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Presidential Campaign Council in Rivers State was attacked in his residence by suspected thugs.

The hoodlums vandalized five vehicles in the residence during their attack on Thursday morning, December 8, 2022.

Maeba, an ally of PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, confirmed the attack during a visit to his residence by Channels Television.

According to the PDP presidential campaign chairman, he arrived in Port Harcourt on Thursday morning, December 8, and neighbors noticed strange movements around his home.

He said a young man called him to warn him about the planned attack. Maeba said his house was attacked shortly after he went out to visit his mother-in-law.

"They shot at the gate and force the gate open. They tied the gateman and shouted where is he? The next thing they did was shoot at the cars. What is my offense? Atiku does not live here. I am a democrat and I don’t have any plan to harm anybody,” Maeba said.

About three persons were reportedly injured during the attack on the residence of the former senator who represented Rivers South East at the National Assembly.
