The national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has tasked the Police and other relevant security services to fish out the killers of its Nasarawa State Chairman, the late Philip Shekwo.
Shekwo was abducted from his residence in Lafia, the state capital, on Saturday night and found dead on Sunday.
A statement signed by the party deputy national publicity secretary, Yekeen Nabena, described the murder of Shekwo as a dark day for the APC family.
The APC condoled with the late Shekwo’s immediate family, the Governor of Nasarawa State, Engr Abdullahi Sule, the State Working Committee and its supporters and members over this shocking killing.
The statement further read in part:
“We pray the Almighty God grants all that grieves the strength to bear this loss and also grant the late Shekwo eternal rest.
“We urge a thorough investigation by the police and other relevant security services to quickly fish out the sponsors and perpetrators of this evil, heinous and barbaric crime and made to face the full weight of the law.”
