Abducted Rivers’ APC LG campaign coordinator found dead

The All Progressives Congress Campaign Coordinator in the Ahoada-West Local Government Area of Rivers State, Chisom Lennard, has been found dead hours after he was abducted.

Lennard was kidnapped by some gunmen while the voting for the governorship and state House of Assembly elections was going on at Ibagwa polling unit 2 ward 10 in the Ahoada West LGA.

The APC chieftain, it was gathered, tried to stop the gunmen from snatching election materials when he was whisked away.

The State APC Publicity Secretary, Darlington Nwauju, said, “He was abducted from his polling unit during the voting process and taken away.

“Nobody knew where they took him to. It was later in the evening of Saturday that his body was found.

Lennard’s body was riddled with bullets in a pool of blood along the Ibueahi-Ubeta Road in area.

The late APC chieftain was an estate surveyor and a former board member of the Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority during the tenure of Rotimi Amaechi.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, promised to make some calls and get back which she had yet to do.
