Gunmen have killed the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) ward chairman for Ife/Akpodim/Chokoneze, Ezinihitte Mbaise, Local Government Area of Imo State, Hon. Smith Chiedoziem Anyanwu.
The ward chairman was shot dead in the presence of his wife at his residence on Wednesday.
Confirming the tragic incident to newsmen in Owerri on Friday, PDP Director of New Media, Lancelot Obiaku said It is true that the incident happened. He was killed in the presence of his wife. Eyewitnesses said the assailants were two in number and rode on a motorbike. On arrival, they met his wife and asked about her husband.
“As soon as they sighted, and identified him, they fired several shots at him and left only when they confirmed he had taken his last breath
“The Ward Chairman’s mụrder has shaken both the PDP family and his community to their very foundation. Coming on the heels of the technical knockout the Party suffered in the November 11, 2023 Governorship election in the State, his murder couldn’t have been more depressing.
“However, an unnamed Party woman has recently threatened to harm him since after the last governorship election in Imo,” he added.
