Unknown Gunmen Murder Abuja APC Chieftain, Injure Wife And Three Kids
November 19, 2018
An Abuja APC chieftain identified as Pastor Benjamin Imeogu has been murdered by unknown gunmen along the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport Road, Abuja.
The deceased who was the Chairman of the APC panel on the conduct of the National Assembly primaries in the FCT was shot 5 times on the chest at close range.
While the wife of the deceased and one of their sons were critically injured as they also received gunshots with bullets piercing their stomachs, the other two children escaped with minor injuries. Punch reported that Imeogu’s remains have been deposited at the National Hospital’s morgue, while his wife and son are battling for their lives at an undisclosed hospital.
Though it couldn’t be confirmed if the attack was connected to the Abuja Municipal Area Council elections in which the deceased actively participated as the Chairman of the electoral committee, members of the Transforming Church, Galadimawa, Abuja, where Imeogu was a prominent member, have been paying tributes to the late politician.
