A source disclosed that the hoodlums shot sporadically at the entrance of Senator Maeba’s residence and eventually broke into his compound in the Government Reserved Area (GRA), Phase 3 axis of Port Harcourt.

They destroyed about five cars as three persons in the compound, including Senator Maeba’s relative, scampered for safety.

A team of operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and police officers along with the Senator subsequently visited the scene.
