Maduka Zachary, a chieftain of the Labour Party (LP) in Abia State, has been murdered by gunmen yet-to-be identified.
It was gathered that the slain party chieftain who served as Campaign Director General of LP in the Isuikwuato Umunneochi Federal Constituency during the last election was murdered at his residence in Uturu, Isuikwuato Local Government Area of the State.
The gunmen, according to reports, invaded the deceased’s residence on Wednesday, killed him and chopped off his head.
According to Daily Post, efforts to get reaction from the Abia State Police Command proved abortive as the Police Public Relations Officer, Maureen Chinaka could not answer her calls.
She also did not respond to text messages.
However, the President General of the Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, COSEYL, Goodluck Ibem confirmed the unfortunate development.
When contacted, Ibem who was unable to give details of the incident, simply said “the report is true”.
