Gunmen suspected to be political thugs in
the early hours of Saturday killed the
Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, in
Ishielu local government area of Ebonyi
State, Mr. Emeka Nworie.
Sources revealed that the late PDP
chairman was attacked at his house in
Ezzagu and shot severally by his
assailants on different parts of his body
until he died.
The state’s police spokesman, ASP Chris
Anyanwu, confirmed the incident to our
reporter.
He said the incident took place at around
3:00am on Saturday morning.
Anyanwu said the assailants, before killing
the PDP chief asked for money which was
generously given to them after which they
proceeded to shoot him to death.
The state has witnessed several politically
motivated killings since last November.
Two persons were killed earlier in the week
when supporters of PDP and the Labour
Party clashed in Ikwo.
