of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers
State, Mr. Olala Osondu, has been shot dead by
suspected assassins.
Osondu, who was the secretary general of the
PDP in Ahoada West Local Government Area, was
said to have been killed at his residence, off Ada-
George Road, in Port Harcourt at about 12.30a.m.
THISDAY learnt that the deceased was
assassinated in front of his compound as he just
returned from a meeting a few minutes after
midnight.
A source, who craved anonymity , said the
deceased’s wife said she heard two gunshots
outside their compound after she had sighted her
husband’s car.
According to the source, when the deceased’s
wife came outside shortly after the gunshots, she
found her husband dead.
The state Commissioner of Police, Chris Ezike,
confirmed the incident and said investigations
were on to track down the assassins.
