Men suspected to be hired assassins have
allegedly gunned down a Federal House Of
Representatives aspirant, Kingsley Nkemka,
on Tuesday at an area known as T Junction,
Ohaohia Mbeiri, Mbaitoli local government
of Imo State.
Nkemka, who was aspiring to represent his
people of Mbaitoli/Ikeduru, on the platform
of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at
the lower house, was said to have met his
demise shortly after he attended the opening
session of the state house of assembly
lawmakers as a present aide of the speaker
of the state’s house of assembly.
According to a statement signed by the
senior special assistant on media to the
speaker, Emeka Ahaneku, the victim was
said to be hale and hearty before attending
the session.
According to the statement, Nkemka had
travelled to some of the wards in his
constituency in continuation of his
consultation with some party leaders in the
area to fine-tune his political aspiration.
“Immediately after his visit, Nkemka
reportedly stopped over briefly at the
popular T-junction, Ohaohia Mbieri, to also
meet with one of his facilitators who had
desired a meeting between 8 and 9pm
before the unfortunate incident.”
The statement further said that, “after the
meeting with his facilitator and the director-
general of his campaign organisation, some
hoodlums, numbering about five, suddenly
showed up at the scene, kicked out his
(Nkemka’s) facilitator, ransacked Nkemka’s
pockets, before shooting him in the ankle.
They ordered him into the booth of his
Toyota car where they finally shot him at
close range”.
When contacted, the state police public
relations officer, Andrew Enwerem,
confirmed the incident, adding that the
police have made some arrests in
connection with the crime, while
investigations are on-going.
