He added that the gunmen invasion forced the party to put on hold its campaign rally already fixed to hold in Ofoke’s compound in Izzi area on Friday.
“The thugs came with two Sienna buses on Thursday night swooped on the residence of Ofoke with AK 47 and pump action rifles.
“They ravaged the entire compound in a hail of gunshots, leaving in their trail destruction and hundreds of expended bullets shells.
