The decomposing body of a frontline member of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi
State, Chief Aliu Raphael Olorunpomi, who was, on Saturday, abducted by five
unknown gunmen, who stormed his Happy Hour Parks & Garden in Kabba, Kogi
State has been found at Okehi LGA of Kogi state about four hours ago.
Olorunpomi’s son, Segun, who was
also a victim of the attack, said the gunmen gained access into the garden by
scaling the rear fence.
According to him, “they ordered us
to lie down with our faces on the ground. We obeyed them. Then they asked us
who were the owners of the cars parked in the lot. We kept quiet and they
threatened to kill all of us if we don’t talk. My daddy now offered them the
key of his car, urging them not to kill anybody.
“They collected the key and ordered
him to the car. They asked him if the car has a security lock and my daddy
answered in the negative.
They asked him to go into the car
and drove away with him. We have not seen or heard from him since yesterday (Saturday)
night,” he further said..But in a message sent to our news room some minutes ago,
the family said his body was found beside his vehicle after several days of
searching.
From all indication, it’s obvious the assassination was
politically motivated since nothing was removed from his car or his person.
It will be recalled that we break the news of the kidnap
immediately it happened last weekend..CKN
Is that the deceased's photograph?
