Gov. Abdullahi Sule (DailyPost)
Gov. Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa has condemned
the killing of the state Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Philip Shekwo,
describing it as unfortunate.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
Shekwo was abducted by gunmen at about 11 p.m.
on Saturday from his residence in Bukan-Sidi,
Lafia, as confirmed by the Commissioner of Police
in the state, Mr Bola Longe.
The lifeless body of the deceased was found some
metres away from his residence on Sunday and had
been deposited at the morgue at the Dalhatu Araf
Specialist Hospital (DASH), Lafia.
The governor, in a statement issued on Sunday by
his Chief Press Secretary, Ibrahim Addra, said that
the killing of the APC chairman came with great
shock and bewilderment.
“I am personally traumatised by this gruesome and
inhuman act that has left myself, Mr Shekwo’s family
members, the APC family and indeed, all well-
meaning people shattered.
“My prayers and thoughts go to the family of the
late Shekwo. He was a great husband, statesman,
complete gentleman and loyal party man,” Sule said.
He assured the people of the state that the
perpetrators of the dastardly act would be arrested
and brought to justice, as security agencies had
begun investigations into the incident.
“This killing has further our resolve to deploy every
resource to fight crime and criminality and secure
our people and their property.
“I urge all to remain resilient, as we fight those who
are bent on instilling fear in us and disrupt the
pervading peace in our state.
“We will not allow them and the Almighty will never
allow them, ” he added.
Longe said that the police would not rest on its
oars until the killers of the APC chieftain were found
and brought to justice.
