Post-Election Violence: Thugs Burn Kogi PDP Women Leader Alive In Her HomeNov 18, 2019
Few hours after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced the candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) winner of Kogi governorship election, political thugs continued on their killing spree.
The Woman Leader of Wada Aro Campaign Council, Ochadamu Ward, Hon Mrs Acheju Abuh was this afternoon burnt alive in her home by alleged jubilant supporters and thugs said to be celebrating their party’s victory.
Reacting to the banal act, thespokesman, Wada/Aro Campaign Council, Faruk Adejoh-Audu said “Chanting GYB 4+4, the thugs, shooting sporadically, arrived Hon (Mrs) Abuh’s house at about 2pm this afternoon and surrounded the house, bolting every exit and escape from outside.
“They then poured petrol on the building and set it ablaze as other terrorized villagers watched from hiding. She reportedly attempted to escape through a window but was prevented by the metal burglary proof and gun shots with bullets raining in her direction.
“The blood thirsty thugs waited, shooting and watching with relish while Mrs Abuh cried from inside the inferno until her voice died out.
“They reportedly left only when the entire house and Mrs Abuh had been burnt to ashes. There are fears that the killing spree may escalate over the night.
“We are calling on all men of good conscience to immediately help the people of Kogi State appeal to the Inspector General of Police to rein in Bello’s thugs and protect our people whose only crime was that they voted for their choice, a vote that was never allowed to count.
“Unless Nigerians of Good conscience immediately come to our aid innocent people may die worse agonizing deaths as the blood lust of Mr Bello and his supporters continue.
“So far there’s no indication that the Kogi State Police will arrest her killers or even prevent further attacks and killings of people.”
Additional reports from Ochadamu said two other houses have been burnt by the thugs. Our source reported that when youths in the community made attempts to stop the rampaging thugs a serious fight started. In the course of the fight, one of the thugs allegedly hurt himself with his charmed knife which led to severe bleeding. He was rushed to a popular clinic in the community where health workers refused to attend to the thug without a police report. The thugs died shortly after he was brought to the clinic while the his enraged comrades promised to burn the clinic.

Ogbonna ubani aka ngeneukwenu aka cilicmarin aka cleverly, do you think Idisuleourown have time have for you? No na, bro, I know people who to engage with on this forum.
To the best of my knowledge, in my area PDP didn't rig. Do you need to tell a voter who is a civil servant, who is owned for almost a year or a pensioner or a student whose parents are owned who to vote for?
They came to vote out those who brought untold hardship on them embarassed.
I'm not a party person. I was among those who campaign against Idris Ichala because he was owning salaries. Then, anytime I asked my mother or relatives if they have been paid, they will say they haven't been paid. I became angry when it got to almost 5 months or so and I join forces to kick him out. Not that late Audu was a choice because same thing happened to him when he refuse to pay and was voted out. I prefer Phillip Omeiza Salawu (former DG under Ibro).
I still remain with the common masses no matter what. I hate seeing people suffer. We say no to non payment of salaries, no to intimidation and harassment, no to criminals, no to underdevelopment.
You are loyal to a party even if your parents have nothing to eat you are not bothered as far your party is in power. No need exchanging words with you.
“Do you see anybody rejoicing? Is this how it is the day after a true victory? It is not about me here. It is about the long suffering people of the state who have been under bondage in the last four years.
It is not about you, Musa, it is about the long suffering of the people that is why I and others with conscience, with humane heart join forces to liberate our state from these criminals, wicked and heartless beings.
How can a set people sleep at night knowing well that civil servants and pensioners are owned? Not that the money is not there, the money is there, why not pay? You are busy funding and arming thugs to kill and intimidate the people you sworn to protect.
zikter: both PDP and APC are riggers. it only depends on out smarting the other in rigging game. As usual, the party that is out smarted in the rigging game cries louder.

akanbiaa: but igala people pride themselves as warriors and brave people why would they allow themselves be intimidated,what of all those anti bullet jazz? I think the people decided to go for the devil they know being better than an untested angel or relation to devil they know before.
Of cause, and it was displayed during the election were APC thugs were chased, were APC thugs were captured and handover to police only for police to release them.
All the Igala politicians who ostracize these things are now declared as Efelefus (don't know if I get the name right). From Jibril Isah, vagabond Onoja, Halims the ritualist, David Zacheus, all the HOA from Igala land, commissioners, special advisers.
They can't step foot on the soil without heavy security if not they will be lynched.
babyfaceafrica: I am suprised igala people didn't vote enmassed like ebira...wetin happen?..if ebira get craze,can't igala match them?..with all igala mouth both online and offline..yeye Bello showed them pepper...Bello is useless Sha,but very rugged!!..I don't know who is more rugged between Bello and wike?
Truth is that people were scared away from coming out to vote by thugs.
Check voters registration in Igala land and the people that came out to caste vote. What about ballot box snatching, rigging by APC?
Iamgrey5: When is PDP going to release Dekina and Ankpa results
Abi all this pro democracy crusaders self
The election in Igala land should be cancelled. Imagine the turn out from Igala land a PDP stronghold and the results. People were scared away, intimidation, violence everywhere.
SalamRushdie: It's a slaughter it seems , the Bayelsa seems far more credible than Kogi state where INEC collation officers are just manufacturing results from their bribe infested pockets ... Abeg lemme cruise round town small to calm my nerves
Kogi election was a pure sham. Fictitious results in favouring of bastard bello, massive rigging, chasing and intimidating people with thugs especially in Kogi East where's Pdp stronghold.
Caseless: I don't know why apc(my party) is against obaseki but supports yahaya bello. They miscalculated by disqualifying the likes of usman jibrin who could have given them an easy win against pdp for bello.
My man, it seems you are ground. Usman Jibrin could have won yahya Bello in the primary election if not for the disqualification.
kurupt1: Ngeneukwenu aka Lauretta Onochie can u kindly say Amen to this to show that APC is doing a good job. See ehn,Lauretta , power is transient and very soon you will be out of power.And ur grievious sins and enemies will be waiting for you Stupid drunkard woman
The ngeneukwenu is actually a man and not a woman.
Gabbriell: Suspected thugs said to have disrupted exercise in Omala LGA in Kogi State.
The Ajayi Crowther Primary School in Lokoja A (Kogi State) has 27 polling units 100 voting points 49,374 registered voters.
There are only two security officers deployed there from Friday and the electoral officials are unable to deploy to the polling units due to the absence of security personnel to accompany them and the materials.
These people are hell-bent in causing trouble in our land and they are using our sons and imported thugs to do so. Get ready to carry enough body bags.
