Hours after being kidnapped, gunmen have killed the All Progressives Congress Campaign Coordinator in Ahoada-West Local Government Area of Rivers State, Chisom Lennard.
The gunmen dressed in police uniform to evade suspicion and kidnapped Lennard while voting for the governorship and state House of Assembly elections at Ibagwa polling unit 2 ward 10 in Ahoada West LGA.
The APC chieftain, it was gathered, tried to stop the gunmen from snatching election materials when he was whisked away in a commando fashion.
The State APC spokesperson Darlington Nwauju, revealed that Lennard was kidnapped from his polling unit during the voting process.
“Nobody knew where they took him to. It was later in the evening of Saturday that his body was discovered.
“He was APC LGA caretaker chairman and a PhD student at the Rivers State University.”
The gunmen riddled Lennard’s body with bullets left him in a pool of his own blood along the Ibueahi-Ubeta road in Ahoada+West LGA of the state.
The late APC chieftain was an estate surveyor and a former board member of the Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority during the tenure of Rotimi Amaechi.
The spokesperson of the state Police Command, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, said she will find out from the Ahoada Area command and get back to our correspondent, but was yet to do so as at the time of filing this report
