Gunmen have reportedly killed the Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Ohofia Agba Ward, Ishielu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, Monday Idoko.

Thelagostimes gathered that Idako was shot in the head in his Onueke village, in the Ezza South Council of the state at about 11 p.m. on Wednesday.

A family relative who pleaded anonymity told Punch in a telephone interview that the assailants entered the village and dragged out the victim while asleep before shooting him in the head.

“It was a family member that alerted me that some unknown armed persons came to their house just before midnight, broke in and dragged him out before shooting him on the head.

“We wanted to rush him to the hospital but he died in the village. We have been in a mourning mood since last night,” he reportedly confirmed.

An APGA supporter in the area, who pleaded anonymity for fear of being traced, said Idoko was busy making arrangements for a rescheduled visit to the area by the APGA governorship candidate, Prof Benard Odoh, before his life was cut shot by men of the underworld.

He described the deceased as a very industrious young man who gave his all in service to the party and humanity.
