All Progressives Congress, APC youth leader in Igbo-Eze South local government area of Enugu state, Lucky Idoko, has been shot dead by unknown gun.
Idoko was allegedly murdered in his hometown, Unadu community in Igbo-Eze south local government in broad day light on Saturday while going about his business on a motorbike.
Though details of his alleged assassination is still sketchy reports said Idoko who is also chairman of Vigilante group in his community was allegedly shot while the passenger he conveyed on his motorbike at the time of the attack escaped unhurt.
A source and chieftain of the main opposition party in the state who spoke under anonymity told our reporter that ” the APC chieftain was going about his business in his hometown in Unadu when the incident happened. What we don’t know is why he should be killed at this critical political moment. I don’t also know if he has problem with his security outfit of which he is the head.”
However, when contacted, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Daniel Ndukwe confirmed the alleged shooting and killing of Idoko, adding that the command has launched an investigation to identify those behind the act.
“Yes, the command has launched an investigation into the case of the alleged shooting and murder of one Lucky Idoko ‘m’, at Unadu community of Igbo-Eze South LGA, in the afternoon hours of 08/10/2022, by yet-to-be-identified armed hoodlums.
“Further development will be communicated, please,” Ndukwe said.
The All Progressives Congress in Enugu State has been riven by infighting following contentious primaries and this latest episode in a region of the State that has always been an haven for the opposition parties will be a major setback for the plans of the party towards the 2023 Elections.
The regions is also home to Senator Ayogu Eze the former Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress.
