Our correspondent recalls that gunmen had on December 15 killed the Labour Party candidate for the Onuimo LGA state House of Assembly election, Christopher Elehu, popularly known as Wasco, after they set ablaze his country home in Okwe community.The abduction of the two community leaders had put the community in a state of confusion.A source in the community who craved anonymity said, “They came around 7 pm. They drove to Fidelis Nwaebele house, released several gunshots and caught him.
When contacted, the Imo State Police Command spokesperson, Henry Okoye, promised to get back to our correspondent after enquiries but was yet to do so as of the time of filing this report. The killing came a few days after the Sole Administrator of the Ideato North LGA, Chris Ohizu, was kidnapped and beheaded after his abductors collected N6 million ransom.All rights reserved.
