PDP Chairman Petitions Police, SSS, Alleges Threat To Life From Umahi

TRACKING____Chief Fred Udeogu, the Ebonyi State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caretaker chairman, has petitioned the state Commissioner for Police and the director of Security Services Service (SSS) in the state over alleged attack and threat to his life by the Ebonyi State Government.

In a six-paragraph petition personally signed by Chief Udeogu, which was obtained by DAILY INDEPENDENT on Thursday, he urged the security agencies to save his life from the hands of Governor Umahi and the agents of Ebonyi State Government.

Udeogu, who noted that his choice to belong to the PDP should not be an invitation for his death, urged the security agencies to swiftly investigate the attacks and threats to his life in order to arrest and prosecute the persons behind it, even as he accused the state APC caretaker chairman, Mr. Stanley Okoro Emegha, of leading some thugs that invaded his residence in Abakaliki recently.

“I write to request you (Commissioner of Police, DSS) to take immediate investigation into these dangerous threats to my life and limbs. Deciding to belong to a political party of my choice should not be an invitation of death to me. I implore you to act fast to save my life.

“There is evil plot against me by Governor David Umahi. His plots started when I was made caretaker chairman of PDP in Ebonyi State,” part of the petition read.
