"It's totally condemnable, seeing miscreants unleashed mayhem to Innocent party men and women.

"What happened last Saturday at Nsukka PDP is very unfamiliar and strange with our culture and way of life in Nsukka,

"Such unfriendly behaviour is most uncharitable given the fact it is from politicians who have immensely benefited from PDP," he said.

The LG boss said that, if he was not at the event,  he would have found it difficult to believe what his eyes saw that Saturday at PDP Nsukka party office.

"If I was not in that event, it will have been very difficult for me to believe that some of our youths are still this backward to participate in such act of hooliganism and political thuggery.

"That barberic action is unacceptable to some of us, that want things to be done in a right way as well as respect the fundamental human rights of others,' he said.

Ozioko  however, urged the general public to remain calm as efforts were on top gear to fish out and being to justice those that carried out the Saturday henious act during  PDP meeting.

"The general public should remain calm, peaceful as there are positive efforts towards bringing the perpetrators to justice.

"To ensure that this fiendish and monstrous attitude did not happen again in Nsukka land,"he said.

The chairman of the council directed all those who sustained injuries during the unfortunate incident to come  the office of  his Special Assistant (SPA) on Political Matters, Mr Chikadibia Agbo for assistance.

"All who sustained injury during that unfortunate incident should come to me through the my SPA Political for proper action and assistance by Nsukka LG" he said

It would be recalled that some political thugs last Saturday invaded and disrupted Nsukka LG, PDP monthly meeting at Nsukka party office, breaking chairs, tables and bottles in the process.

Some party members scampering for safety especially women sustained  injuries while trying to scale perimeter fences to escape from the crises.
