Gunmen kill APC chieftain, three siblings in Rivers

Gunmen have shot dead a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Hon. Boris Neenwi, disrupting the fragile peace in the Ogoni area ahead of the rescheduled rerun election in the state. 

Sources said Neenwi, who was once a councillor representing Yeghe was shot dead along with three others, a lady and her two brothers, on Sunday night at Nonwa Junction in Ogoni axis.
Although there was no clear description of what transpired before the shooting, reports suggested that Neenwi might have been the target of the gunmen, but killed the other three as collateral damage.
The APC chieftain, according to a source, ended his law programme at the University of Maiduguri a few months ago, and was planning for the victory of his party in the rescheduled National Assembly rerun elections in the Ogoni area.https://newtelegraphonline.com/gunmen-kill-apc-chieftain-three-siblings-rivers/
