Angry youths on Monday evening set ablaze the house of the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State, Stanley Okoro-Emegha, at Ekoli-Edda community, Afikpo South local government area of the state.
The spokesman for the state police command, Chris Anyanwu, who confirmed the incident in a statement on Tuesday in Abakaliki, said three persons were also killed during a clash between supporters of Emegha and the APC House of Representatives candidate in Afikpo North/South Federal Constituency, Chief Eni Chima.
The incident, according to him, was caused by a struggle for supremacy between the two politicians.
