Mrs. Worlu (JP) who spoke to newsmen, confirmed that their major target was her husband Comrade Theophilus Worlu (JP), because according to her they were shouting “where is this man!” “Where is this man?” It was when they finally forced all other doors of the house open and discovered her husband was not at home that they left.
