VIDEO: Hoodlums invade houses of Senator Ndoma Egba, Gershom Bassey, loot properties, set buildings ablaze
There was pandemonium Saturday afternoon as hoodlums invaded the houses of Senator Gershom Bassey, Senator Southern Senatorial District and former Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba who represented Cross River Central Senatorial District at the Senate.
It was learned both houses situated at Asari Esor Layout in Calabar Municipality LGA were on Saturday afternoon invaded and house hold items including chairs, TV, chairs and toilet seats, car batteries were carted away.
Eyewitnesses told our correspondent that the hoodlums overpowered the security personnel protecting the houses and carted away with valuables while leaving the houses as empty.
Other properties including a lounge (Bulavard) reportedly owned by Hillard Eta, APC stalwarts were vandalised and another filling allegedly owned by Governor Ben Ayade was also destroyed.
Newsflash247 had earlier reported that the hoodlums have invaded the residence of Teslim Folarin, the senator representing Oyo Central Senatorial district.
The mostly angry youth looted several new motorcycles (Okadas) at the Oluyole home of the lawmaker. Other materials carted away are freezers, grinding machines and other valuables.
Newsflash247 reported how the homes of various government officials have been looted in the last 48 hours.
Earlier today, some hoodlums looted materials at the home of a former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Lasun Yusuff, in Osun State.
The Iwo Local Government Secretariat was also set ablaze.
Newsflash247 efforts to reach Mr Folarin proved abortive as close associate who confirmed the incident to our correspondent said the senator is out of the country.
