Unknown gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen have reportedly killed an official of the Electoral Commission (INEC), Emmanuel Igwe and Ajah Okafor, father of Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth wing chieftain, Damian Okafor.

The unfortunate incident occured in Ishiagu community in Ivo Local government area of Ebonyi State on Sunday evening, June 18, 2023.

Igwe's wife was also abducted by the gunmen who intercepted their car along the Ishiagu-Mpu road.

Damian, who confirmed the killing of his father to The Nation on Monday, June 19, alleged that the attackers were herdsmen who have been terrorising the area.

He said the gunmen, after attacking the couple, took the woman into the bush.

“In their bid to escape, they ran into my father who was in his farm tending to his crops. They proceeded to kill my father so that he will not raise alarm and expose their presence in the area,” he said.

Resident Electoral Commissioner of INEC in Ebonyi State also confirmed the death and kidnap of the INEC staff and wife.

"One of our colleagues, an Assistant Electoral Officer in Afikpo North LGA, Emmanuel Igwe, was shot to death by gunmen in Ivo on his way back from Abia State and his wife kidnapped,” she said.

Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the Ebonyi Police Command, Onome Onvwakpoyeya, said gunmen suspected to be herdsmen shot the man on the head through the windshield of his car.

She said the gunmen used a knife to slice the throat of the second victim in his farm.

Kai,I wonder how wicked some of u are. My neighbor who travelled last month didn't come back with the car he travelled with because fulani herdsmen scattered it with gun and killed many people.

Yet,u said it's a lie.

If u are not biased I don't think u will talk like this. May god Help u to come out of this hate.

So Igbos ESN gunmen are now known as headsmen in the yeast?
Congratulation to Igbos on their newly achieved vawulence. More senseless wins as long as they don't cross the Niger bridge to saner regions. Keep your madness in your backyard

You are not asking the right question. Igbos are headless mobs. Normally they don't have sense

Go and take your meds

If you have an opportunity, leave this country and never look back
