Abdullahi Sule, Nasarawa state Governor has vowed to bring the killers of Philip Shekwo, Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to justice.
The Herald on Sunday reported unknown gunmen kidnapped Shekwo from his residence and exchanged gunshots with his security aide who put up a fight.
However, the kidnap eventually led to murder as Raman Basel of the Nasarawa state police command confirmed Shekwo’s murder after finding his corpse.
This was contained in a statement released by Ibrahim Addra, Governor Sule’s Chief Press Secretary.
“We received with great shock and bewilderment the killing of the Nasarawa State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Philip Tatari Shekwo, in the hands of yet to be identified gunmen who forcefully gained entrance into his residence last night
“My prayers and thoughts go to the family of the late Shekwo. He was a great husband, a statesman, peaceful gentleman and loyal party man.
“I will like to assure all that the perpetrators of this dastard act will not go scot-free. Investigations have already commenced by our security agencies who will do all it takes to hunt down these criminals and bring them to justice.”
