Uzor was shot dead in his house in the community last Wednesday by suspected political thugs who stormed the house.

The community has been engulfed in a crisis which led to the destruction of life and property worth millions of naira before Governor Francis Nwifuru waded into it on Friday.

Uzor’s widow who is currently nursing a two-month-old baby narrated that her husband was killed in her presence and her four children who returned from school when the ugly incident happened.

“I and my husband were in our house undressing our children who returned from school when a group of armed men stormed our house.

“An argument ensued between them and my husband and one of them ordered Deri to shoot my husband and he was shot dead immediately.

“My son told him you have killed my father and picked stone to hit Deri. Deri threatened to kill him also if the stone touched him. At that point, the group left our house and we started crying”.

She described her husband as a very good and peaceful person who never had issue with anyone and wondered why he could be killed.

“I am very sad, I don’t know how I can survive my husband’s killing. My husband was not a trouble person, he was a very calm, respectful and law abiding person.

“So, why should they kill him? Security agencies and government should ensure justice for my husband.

“As you can see, I am nursing a two month old baby and my other three children are also in their tender ages. How are we going to survive their father’s death?” she said.

When contacted, the State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Joshua Ukandu confirmed the incident adding that the widow has been invited and she made useful statements.

He said a team of policemen has been deployed to the community and two persons have already been arrested. “We have deployed our men there and we have also made arrest of two persons. We are investigating the matter and as of now, that area is relatively calm”, he said.
