From Emmanuel Adeyemi, Lokoja

Ahead of Kogi State governorship election slated for November 21, a prominent chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Jeremiah Abu was last night assassinated in Ejule in Ofu Local Government Area of the state.

Chief Abu was said to have been trailed to his residence at Ejule at about 7p.m when some gunmen, who came in an unmarked car suddenly descended on him and shot him severally in the abdomen. According to a witness, Abu, described as a PDP strategist in the area was said to have bled to death as a result of the gunshot before help could reach him.

Reacting to the news of the death of the PDP chieftain, the party’s youth leader in the state, Mr. Stephen Onaji described the death as painful, tragic and politically motivated. While pointing finger at the opposition, he urged the police to go all out to unravel those behind the dastardly act and also called on the police to do something urgent to curtail some volatile areas in the state, so that the forthcoming election would be hitch -free.

Meanwhile, the new State Police Commissioner, Mr. Emmanuel Ojukwu has warned terrorists and other criminals hibernating in the state to relocate or get themselves blamed. Ojukwu gave this warning while parading eight suspects arrested for armed robbery, kidnapping, and murder before newsmen in Lokoja yesterday.

He said gone were the days when kidnappers and armed robbers held the state in the jugular by terrorising and killing innocent citizens, saying the command had mapped out new strategy to curtail the activities of the hoodlums.

The CP also warned politicians harbouring thugs to desist or face the wrath of the law, saying effort had been made to ensure that the forthcoming governorship election was violent free, fair and credible. Among items recovered include the hoodlums include an abandoned. Toyota Sienna with Reg no KJA 67 BF with a press tag, a locally made pistol, cut lasses,charms and INEC registration forms, among others - See more at: http://www.exlinklodge.com/2015/09/pdp-chieftain-assassinated-in-kogi.html#sthash.TPsWk6VU.dpuf
