Thugs Reportedly Kill Younger Brother of Fubara’s Chief of Staff

 

The younger brother of Edison Ehie, the Chief of Staff to the Rivers State Governor has been reportedly killed.

 

Edison Ehie was on Monday, shot dead during the attack on the Ahoada East council Secretariat on Monday.

 

A member of the Inter Party Advisory Council, IPAC made this known in a statement on Monday.

 

He said the deceased was shot dead when the gunmen attacked the area, leaving behind a wife and a new born baby.

 

Recall that the crisis in Rivers State snowballed into violence on Monday leading to the killing of a brother to Edison Ehie, the father of a newly elected councillor, and about three others.

 

Also, three local government secretariats were torched by suspected thugs shortly after the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, withdrew the policemen guarding the council premises.

 

The Rivers State PDP loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, described the LG poll on October 6th as an exercise in futility, vowing to challenge it in court.

 

Despite the opposition to the poll, Fubara swore in the newly elected council chairmen at the Executive Council Chamber of the Government House in Port Harcourt, on Sunday.
