Gogo-Jaja revealed this on his Facebook handle.
He wrote: “My brother wants to kill me. “They bombed my house this morning”.
It was gathered that the residence of the former Commissioner was attacked by suspected thugs with dynamite.
Gogo-Jaja is an ally of the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar.
Reports revealed that one of the suspected assailants was neutralised in the process.
Similarly, the home of the House of Assembly candidate for Etche State Constituency, under the All Progressives Congress, Charles Anyanwu was also reported to have been attacked by hoodlums.
Although no life was lost, properties were destroyed.
