The Peoples Democratic Party’s ward chairman of the Ife/Akpodim/Chokoneze Ward in the Ezinihitte Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo State, Chiedoziem Anyanwu, was slain by gunmen.
Our correspondent has been informed that assailants on a motorcycle shot and killed Anyanwu on Thursday.
His assassins reportedly said his name and asked to see him when they arrived at his house. After confirming that he was the one, they fatally shot him.
It was reported that his assassins made sure he was dead before leaving the area.
Lancelot Obiaku, the state’s PDP Director General for New Media, confirmed the killing when approached.
But he demanded that the individuals who were running be taken into custody and tried.
Henry Okoye, the state police spokesperson, claimed not to have received a briefing on the killing.
However, he stated that he will look into the matter and get back to our correspondent; as of the time this report was filed, he had not done so.
