Gunmen suspected to be hired assassins, yesterday, reportedly killed Mr. Sylvester Efeurhobo, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State.
Daily Sun gathered the gunmen invaded Efeurhobo’s residence in Agbarho, Ughelli North Local Government Area of the state, in the early hours of yesterday, and shot him dead.
Some residents spoke in glowing terms about the late Efeurhobo, describing him as a dedicated party faithful, a brother and father who was generous to a fault.
The development reportedly threw the Delta community into deep mourning and serious tension with the residents calling on security operatives to “fish out the hooligans and ensure that justice takes its due course in the matter. The perpetrators should be brought to book, as we do mourn the deceased.”
The Police Public Relations Officer for Delta State Command, Bright Edafe, who confirmed the incident, noted that three suspects have been apprehended in connection with the gruesome murder, while investigation was ongoing.
“Confirmed, we are still investigating. So far, three suspects have been arrested,” Edafe said.
