ABUJA – The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has condemned the attack on Zenith Party National Chairman, Chief Dan Nwanyanwu, in Abuja, and called for a thorough investigation into the incident.

The council’s statement, signed by IPAC National Publicity Secretary, Mrs. Chinyere Ogeh Kalu, on Thursday, stated that Nwanyanwu was trailed by suspected assassins and threatened with death over his criticism of a federal minister’s alleged interference in the Rivers State government.

IPAC described the attack as outrageous and barbaric, urging the police to investigate and bring the perpetrators to justice.

IPAC also called on the police to provide adequate security for Chief Nwanyanwu and his family.

The statement read in part, “The attack on Chief Dan Nwanyanwu is inconceivable, outrageous, despicable, inhuman, and barbaric. Chief Nwanyanwu’s offense is speaking truth to power and resisting impunity, executive recklessness, and rascality by a cabinet minister.

“It is unthinkable that such a brazen attempt on his life could happen at a location with world-class security. The council commends in security agents for their prompt intervention and interrogation of the suspect and urges the police to charge him to court to serve as a deterrent to others who may want to follow this path of dishonour.

“The police should also provide adequate security to Dan Nwanyanwu and his family. The council further urges President Bola Tinubu to call Wike to order.”
