The Young Progressives Party (YPP) has alleged that Bishop Amakiri, its national chairman, was attacked at his Abuja residence and called for a thorough investigation.

Wale Martins, YPP national publicity secretary, condemned the act in a statement on Sunday in Abuja, saying, “The attack is despicable.”

“The state of insecurity is deteriorating by the day with no solution in sight,” Mr Martins said. “We call on the Nigeria Police to thoroughly investigate and bring the culprits to justice.”

Mr Martins appealed to the party members, supporters and followers to remain calm while security agencies take the necessary steps to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book.
