The state police public relations officer
(PPRO), Asinim Butswat, confirmed the incident on Wednesday in Yenagoa in an
interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
Butswat said: “One Pamo Christopher Hobobo of
PDP Road, Yenagoa was found dead in his house at about 7000hrs today
(Wednesday). Preliminary investigation revealed he was stabbed on the chest
with a sharp object. His corpse has been deposited at FMC Yenagoa for autopsy
and investigation is ongoing.”
Hobobo, who hailed from Agbere in Sagbama Local
Government Area, was attacked in his house at Yenizue-Gene in Yenagoa Local
Government Area.
Residents said the assassins broke into the
deceased’s house and stabbed him to death without taking any item.
The killers were said to have gained access into
his apartment after pulling down the burglar proof attached to the door.
Sound of gunshots from the deceased’s house
attracted neighbours who alerted the police.
The former PDP chieftain was discovered in a
pool of his own blood after the police arrived at the scene in the morning.
Elder Hobobo, uncle to the deceased, said: “We
are in grief; we are still in shock. I am short of words. Please let me be for
now.”
