Unknown gunmen have reportedly murdered Boniface Okloho, the All Progressives Congress chairman in Ohimini LGA of Benue State.
Fidelis Chidi Blog gathered that the late Okoloho was reportedly shot and
killed yesterday by some yet-to-be-identified assailants, on his way
home from a party function.
Confirming the sad development, the All Progressives Congress
Governorship (APC) candidate in Benue State, Hon. Emmanuel Jime,
strongly condemned the assassination of Okoloho.
Hon. Jime, who expressed deep sorrow over the gruesome murder of the
late party chieftain, sued for peace and brotherliness in the politics
of the state, calling on the government of Benue State and security
agencies, to fish out the killers of Late Okoloho and bring them to
book, to serve as deterrent to others who may want to further the
politics of violence.
“I condemn in very strong terms, this unnecessary politics of
violence and bloodshed, that has claimed the life of Mr. Okloho, our
beloved brother and staunch member of our great party in Ohimini.
“Mr. Okoloho was one of the very committed leaders of our party in
Zone C and we regret that he lost his life in such a horrible
circumstance, in the service of his state and his party. May his gentle
soul rest in peace,” Jime stated in a statement.
