The family of the Community Development Committee (CDC) Chairman of Mgboshimini in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area (LGA), Mr. Ndidi Livingstone, who was shot dead last weekend, has called for justice over the killing of their breadwinner.
Livingstone was shot dead by unknown gunmen suspected to be cultists, on Saturday night, at the front of Peculiar Faith Ministries (Christ Centre), Rumueme Waterside, Mile 4, Obio/Akpor LGA of Rivers State.
Elder brother of the murdered CDC chairman, Mr. Godspower Livingstone, told journalists that his brother was killed at the waterside by four gunmen in police uniform, with AK-47 guns.
He said: “I was in the house and I heard that my immediate younger brother, Ndidi Livingstone, has been shot dead, at the gate of Peculiar Faith Ministries, his own church, at Rumueme Waterside.
“People who saw them with Highlander SUVs, tinted glass, and police uniforms, said as they saw my brother, they were trying to push him inside the vehicle. My brother opened the vehicle, saw somebody inside and came out. As my brother was struggling to go inside the church, they finally shot him on his head and stomach.
“My call is that police and other law enforcement agencies should try and see what they can do towards the death of my brother. We demand justice.”
