Please avoid this route for now and advise those outside,

SOURCE Please!

These PDP pple will finish themselves b4 2007 o.I just pray God takes control.

I just heard that on Channels tv breaking news few minutes ago. Preliminary reports said he was found strangled on his bed this morning.

Breaking News reaching us from the electronic media, STV, LTV, Channels TV reports that the versatile humanist and amiable politician, Engineer Funsho Williams was found dead this morning, alleged to have been murdered by assassins.

There is no doubt that having contested twice for the coveted seat of power in Lagos State, Nigeria. Engineer Williams is the most notable aspirant from PDP for that seat again as we approach another season of electioneering in the next few months.

Whatever the final outcome of police investigations, (if there would ever be a finality, Bola Ige's high-profile murder, Harry Marshall, Abubarkar Rimi's wife, etc. and other unending and unresolved political assassinations within the last seven years under the PDP federal government remains a mystery).

Recently his political rally in the domain of his estranged godson in Ikorodu led to a bloody and fatal clash with thugs allegedly sponsored by his opponents in that domain. His shocking murder proves once again what the sage Wole Soyinka, told us a few years ago that "PDP is a nest of killers". A party that kills its own.

Where is tolerance, if now, 8 clear months to election, politicians who feel threatened by opponents begin to kill each other? Adieu Captain, may your death provoke a total disgrace and exposure of all the powers behind the unresolved and mystery political murders of the last seven years in this country.

It's all over the news. Some geezers who were on the way to my office for a meeting have turned back, so I guess I'm free to galivant around the internet. . .

ISNT THAT AMAZING.

it seems d man was blocking someones ambition to alausa in 2007 n had to be "erased" frm d equation

Eh yah! what a painful world,so Funsho Williams is gone! can believe it

Eh yah! what a painful world,so Funsho Williams is gone! can't believe it

if somebody knew, you would have known because it will be on the news and in papers.

This is to inform everyone that the story about Funso Williams is confirmed o!!!. In light of this I’m suggesting that you leave the office early (4:00pm) in case of any civil disturbance that may occur.

Safety in Lagos is not guaranteed


Whatever work u have to do can wait till tomorrow, your life is more important

let's not bother about whatever has to say
they never have a solution
killers go free in Nigeria, especially political killings

Bola Ige, Harry (whatever),,
in fact i cant remember their names again,
the list goes on. and on,

and 2007 is still far o,
so let's keep counting, more expected

Nigerian politics----Nauseating

You are cracking me up. . .

Lagos is not a Hezbollah stronghold o!

Chief Bola Ige, Harry Marshall and Abubakar Rimi's wife. Who's next, maybe presidential aspirants will start going down tomorrow.

There was a guy who was assasinated in Jos. I forget the name now. . .

Is it true dat Funso Williams has been killed. i hear there is chaos in Lagos now, call ur folks back at home and warn them

THIS IS A VERY SAD NEWS.
PDP IS A TERRORIST PARTY, THAT SEEKS TO DESTROY ANYBODY THAT COMES AGAINST THEM.

NIGERIANS SHOULD RISE UP AND PUSH THIS PARTY OUT!!!!!!11

When will this cycle of violence end? The growing level of insecurity in the land is unacceptable.
What do you expect in a party that parades Chris Uba - the man that wreaked havoc in Anambra, Lamidi Adedibu - the godfather in Oyo, Alamisiegha - the terrorist from Bayelsa to mention but a few.

I hope the people of Nigeria will rise up to take power from these usurpers of power.

How else will you want to kill to serve Nigerians?

The killers in PDP must be exposed, they must not go unpunished.
--------------------

The annoying thing is that they may claim that its armed robbers and make fictitious arrests, or even arrest the poor guys household security personnel.
NIGERIA

Hey guys am in dolphin right now

everywhere seem peaceful though so Mobile police are hanging around the estate.
The fear should be the areas where they have thier offices and homes
It a sad incident !!
i fear for this 2007 election is damn too early even if ther will be killings.

But as far has i can see it quite out here

I don't expect violence in dolphin at all, you will feel the impact in Oshodi, Ikeja or Iyana Ipaja and Agege.

As the news of the assassination of one of Lagos state's PDP gubernatorial aspirants continue to circulate around the globe, one wonders what awaits us in 2007. Funsho Williams, just like several other uncelebrated political office aspirants have been caught down in the march to 2007.
When shall this politics of diaffection, bloodletting, hatred, etc vanish from our lives? The desperation continues to build up. When are we going to be free from all these.
God save Nigeria.

I think the road to 2007 elections will be very bloody with the recent murder of Engr. Funsho Williams. What do u nairaland members think can be done to avert this type of political assassination in the country?

I'm shocked!.

What was his support base really like?
