Sabinus Ordu, uncle of Governor Rotimi Amaechi of
Rivers State has been murdered by unknown
persons at his farm in Ubima, Ikwerre local
government area of the state on Monday 8
September.
Ordu, until his death was the Vice Principal of
Community Secondary School, CSS, Aluu in
Ikwerre.
According to Mrs Ibim Semenitari, Commissioner
for Information and Communications, although
Governor Amaechi and late Ordu are of the same
grandparent, the governor regards him as his
uncle.
Narrating the incident she said when Ordu returned
from work he had his lunch and then left the house
on his motorbike to check his traps at his farm in
Ubima but did not return home.
At about 8:00 p.m. a search party set out to find
him. They however found his body dismembered
beside a bush path.
The matter has been reported to police.
On whether the family or government read political
motive to the gruesome muurder, Mrs Semenitari
said: “The man is the Vice Principal of a school
and a quiet civil servant. He is not a card carrying
member of APC and he is not a contractor.
Naturally, as a governor’s relation he may be
sympathetic to the governor’s political beliefs but
nothing more.
“But we are hesitant to think that the gruesome
murder is politically motivated. All fingers point to
that fact but we need to be cautious. This to us is
ominous, especially now that the elections are
around the corner,” she said.
“The governor has refused to comment on the
murder because the victim is his relation,”
Semenatiri said.
She however said that “the government enjoins the
police to unravel the killers and they should they
should be brought to book. This should not be one
such killings that will join the league of unresolved
murders and other heinous crimes in the country,”
she stated.

Life seems so cheap in Nigeria. We are officially back into the state of nature.

what weapon inflicted the wounds?
was he attacked by an animal or with a machete?
was the dis-membering defensive wounds?
any cattle-rearers in the area?
land dispute? maybe the amaechis are using their new-found powers to expand their boundaries.

a political hit is likely to use guns.
they could use knives to cover up.
any gunshot wounds apart from the knife wounds?

Politics!!Wonder what 2015 will look like. May God help us,his children

hmm

Oh not again... We don't need the return of assassination in Rivers State.
Condolence to Amaechi Family and the Ikwerre Nation

That's why u will neva be Governor!!
The man chose to live a simple lyf and u see it as a crime coz he didn't join in stealing the state blind like the Orji's are doing in Abia State.

let the senseless accusation begin

Keneking: Jona ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

^ok its started already, frustrated FOOLS everywhere

Its a pity actually, the man isn't a politician or a contractor. But let's shift from looking at this as political a bit. First of all I am from that region and I know how far some men can go because of land issues or possibly he caught someone trying to steal his meat and it could be his rival. But on a second note, someone just mentioned Fulani and I'm nt trying to sound tribalistic, it has happened before around there and is still happening everywhere in this country. If you are alone and you see a fulani man rearing his cattles around your farm, go back and get more people cos if you confront him alone, they make kill you and run away. Human life doesn't mean anything to them. Just don't let them feel threatened when you are alone.
