Unknown gunmen suspected to be political thugs early on Thursday morning invaded the residence of PDP Senator, Lee Maeba in the GRA, Phase 3 axis of Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Maeba is the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential PDP Campaign Council in Rivers State.

A source said that the hoodlums came from a nearby street, shot sporadically at his entrance, and eventually broke into the former Senator’s compound.

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

When the assailants left, at about 10:50am, a team of operatives of the Department of State Services DSS and policemen along with the Senator were seen driving into the residence.
