The Labour Party (LP), in the Enugu State chapter, has confirmed the gruesome murder of the party’s candidate for Enugu East Senatorial district, Oyibo Chukwu.
The State Chairman of the party, Casmir Agbo stated this in Enugu.
“It’s true my brother. Just yesterday evening. It’s a terrible situation,” he said.
Also, confirming the incident, Mr. Norbert Okolo, Media Aide to the Deputy Governorship candidate of the party, Dr. John Nwokeabia, said Chukwu was burnt in his branded vehicle alongside five of his aides.
“This is terrible. It is very fearful. People should be very careful this time because you don’t know who is responsible,” he said.
A security expert, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, expressed shock over the incident but cautioned people that it is too early to apportion blame.
“It’s too early to say who did this or that because you don’t know those responsible.
“My advice is that police should go into intelligence gathering as quickly as possible, while people should be extremely careful,” he said.
