The police command in Akwa Ibom has confirmed the killing of Bassey Emah, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying it is after the killers.
“We received (a) report that gunmen killed Emah,’’ a spokesman for the command SP Odiko Macdon said on Thursday in Uyo.
Emah was shot dead on Sunday.
The police spokesman added that investigation into the killing had begun and assured that the perpetrators would be fished out to face justice.
“Investigation is ongoing; in no distance time, I believe that the perpetrators will be brought to book,’’ Mr Macdon stated.
In a statement, Bassey Akpan (Akwa Ibom North-East) described the killing of Emah as “one killing too many.’’
“Without leaning on any conspiracy theory, I hereby charge the security agencies to, as a matter of urgency, do all within their powers to unravel the circumstances surrounding the needless killing,’’ he said.
The senator regretted that the killing of Emah would deprive his family of sustainable means of livelihood.
