 National Chairman, Chief John Oyegun

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed concern over the safety of its National Chairman, Chief John Oyegun, and his family after his residence in Abuja was raided in the early hours of Monday by unknown invaders.
In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said while hoping that a police investigation will unravel what happened, it is either those who attacked the residence at 1.30 am are robbers or assassins.
It said while Chief Oyegun was away attending a previously unscheduled meeting in Abuja when the invaders struck, his wife who was at home was leftdeeply traumatized by the raid
''The facts of the raid as available so far point to a sinister motive. For example, only Chief Oyegun's room was ransacked in the whole house. Common sense dictates that if the invaders were robbers, they would have ransacked the whole house in search of money and other valuables which they might have believed were in the residence
'
'The invaders, two burly men, removed the window burglar bars to gain access to the residence from the back, and then made straight for the bedroom of our National Chairman. Police security was in place at the residence when the incident happened,'' APC said.
While giving an account of what transpired in a telephone interview with THISDAY, Oyegun said " the intruders gained entrance into his room through the window at night. He said for him it was unusual for the thieves to invade a  four- bed room apartment and just enter one of the  rooms.
According to Oyegun although no harm was done to his family, the invading men only tampered with his bag and a made away with valuables.
It was the Governor of Rivers state, Mr. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi who first broke the news of the attack Oyegun during the opening/inauguration of the the party's presidential campaign council in Abuja. Governor Amaechi said Oyegun has requested to be excused from the function due to enable him be with his family or manage the trauma arising from the incident.
