January 07, (THEWILL) – The Ward Chairman of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) in Ibeme, Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State, Ifeanyi Desmond Uche, has been killed by gunmen.
State Chairman of YPP, Victor Diala, who confirmed the incident, said Uche was shot dead in front of his family house in Ibeme at about 7:30 am on Wednesday.
“The young man was shot right in front of his house. The funny thing is that they took his body to Federal Medical Centre, Owerri (FMC), where they tagged it ‘unknown gunman’”, he said.
Sources in the area, said the gunmen suspected to be vigilante operatives, were allegedly hired by a man who came to settle a score with the Uche over N100,000 debt.
