It was gathered that the assailants stormed the meeting on two motorcycles and started shooting sporadically into the air, dispersing party members and setting a car, tricycles and motorcycles ablaze in the process.
Sources disclose that the incident occurred at two places; Umu Aji and Nkwo Iyida where party faithful were holding meetings.
It is pertinent to mention that there have been recurrent attacks on Labour Party members during meetings in Enugu State.
