Here is the corpse of Mr. Yahaya Umoru, the son of a House of Representatives aspirant, who was beaten to death for alleged ballot box snatching during the by-election in Kogi state over the weekend. The deceased was killed while allegedly attempting to snatch a ballot box at a polling unit in front of the palace of Maigarin of Lokoja.

It was gathered that pandemonium ensued when some thugs chanting “Imam must win” stormed the polling unit and attempted to snatch the ballot box at the Unit.

Some party supporters at the polling unit resisted the attempt, leading to the beating and stabbing of Yahaya Umoru.

Yahaya Umoru was the son of an APC House of Assembly aspirant for Lokoja 1 Constituency and was visible throughout the electioneering in the build up to the election.

Police authorities in the state have vowed to apprehend the perpetrators of the dastardly act, urging the youth of the area to maintain calm as the long hand of the law will soon catch up with the murderer.

RIP to the dead......

with this, all these politicians will begin to see more reasons not to let their families get directly involved in electioneering processes.

again, the aspirant will now feel what the parents / families of ordinary citizens whose sons and daughter have died in such circumstances felt.


perhaps it was even karma; because Karma bides it's time. You will always have to watch out. Karma is unforgiving and always gets payback...and might not spare your "innocent" relatives.

Finally! Their(politicians ) children are now engaging in ballot box snatching .

Too bad...

Heaven is real hell is real

I remember when my father bought his first yacht. We soaked garri for two years straight.

How does my story relate? It's obvious na. The family must've tasted power before and the son had an idea what they'll suffer if his dad lost. Death to him is a lesser consequence compared to his father's loss.

died for himself.

what a life well spent

APC and ballot snatching .

From Father, to Son , To Senators, to oshimole, to Buhari.

Did anybody notice how his father's political party was conspiciously hidding from the different headlines carrying this story?

If it were to be a PDP member you will see titles like "Ballot Snatching: PDP member killed in kogi for ballot snatching".

Anyway if this is their plan for 2019, more death is awaiting them. Nigerians are awake and alive. Do anyhow, see anyhow.
