The family of a slain secretary
of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, in Oroma Etiti, Anambra West
Local Government Area, late Chukwudi Chinwuba, has revealed how he was
murdered.
A petition by the family of the
slain APGA chieftain, whose corpse was found in River Niger recently, to the
state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Garba Umar showed that he was attacked on
invitation for a reconciliatory meeting with some politicians who were opposed
to his victory as the secretary of APGA and the president general of the
community.
The petition signed by Chinenye
Chinwuba stated that, “My late brother won the election and the Anambra State
government duly issued him with a certificate as the PG and immediately after
the election, some hired thugs went and started destroying some of his
properties in the village.
“My brother then decided to
temporarily relocate out of the village to the nearby Umuikwu Anam for safety.
“Unfortunately the elders made
efforts to invite him to a peace talk and reconciliation meeting with
aggrieved parties over his victory as the PG and scribe of APGA.
“My brother went to answer the
call not knowing that the named native
doctor and other four key
players(names withheld) in the dastardly murder were lying in wait for him.
“They pounced on him at first
sight and started beating him severely with machete. They tied him up with
blocks, took him away and threw him into River Niger.”
Chinenye urged the Commissioner
to arrest and prosecute those involved in the killing of his brother for
justice sake.
He said there was no reason his
brother could be killed in such a circumstance, stating that his late sibling
was of good character and exemplary behaviour, having been the president
general of the community.
The APGA secretary was allegedly
killed on 15th of November, three days before the Anambra governorship
election, and his remains discovered in the River Niger some days later.
When contacted on the telephone,
the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Nkeiruka Nwode, said the
command was investigating the matter . She said she would not want to dwell
much on the issue for now.
