APC Chieftain, Hon. Ejeh Udeh, Shot Dead in Otukpo.
Shock and grief have hit Otukpo, Benue State, following the brutal assassination of Hon. Ejeh Udeh, a notable chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The incident occurred in the early hours of Monday when armed men stormed Udeh’s Ugboju residence around midnight. Witnesses said the assailants, who rode in on a motorcycle, hid nearby waiting for his arrival.
On entering his compound, Udeh was ambushed and shot multiple times at close range. The horrifying attack, carried out in front of his wife and children, left the family devastated.
Neighbors recalled hearing “sporadic gunshots that shattered the silence of the night,” triggering panic in the community. By the time they gathered at the scene, Udeh was already lifeless in a pool of blood.
His death has thrown the area into mourning, with residents hailing him as a “grassroots mobilizer and a strong pillar of support for the APC in the area.”
Security operatives have yet to issue an official reaction, but locals and party members are demanding an immediate probe to bring those behind the killing to book.
The assassination comes amid rising insecurity in Benue, marked by repeated cases of violence, abductions, and political unrest. Party stakeholders are expected to press harder in the coming days for justice over the killing of Hon. Udeh.
