Benson was accused by a group, Patriots of Ijaw Nation (PIN), of accommodating some former militants from Delta and Rivers states at his country home ahead of tomorrow’s poll.
Speaking on a live radio programme on the supplementary election, Benson disclosed that some people from the community sent a message to his wife’s phone that his house had been bombed with dynamite.
Benson said no life was lost during the incident as he and his relatives were still in Yenagoa but that the explosion caused a huge damage, according to eyewitnesses account.
He narrated how he got wind of the development at about 4.00am yesterday morning. “I was asleep in my house here in Yenagoa and at about 4.00am, my wife’s phone rang and a message was sent to us that they had gone to bomb my house with dynamite. It is not something unexpected because they had always been promising to attack, kill or assassinate me or my family members.
Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of being the sponsors of the five suspects arrested by Bayelsa State Police Command over plans to attack strategic locations, including the home of former president Goodluck Jonathan.
The APC governorship candidate, former governor Timipre Sylva spoke on the arrest and said the police should do a thorough investigation and get to the root of the matter.
Sylva alleged the PDP was making frantic efforts to secure bail for the arrested hoodlums.
