Gunmen Kill Youth Leader in Rivers
Category: Crime News
Gunmen suspected to be cultists on Wednesday night, shot dead Mr Ebenezer Matthew, President of Abarikpo community in Akoh Kingdom, Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The killing came less than three months after gunmen suspected to be cultists gang-raped Mrs Chigbewejim Lawyer, the wife of Pastor Lawyer Steward, to death in the community.
The Public Relations Officer of Akoh Youth Congress, in the area, Ekeakita Chinem, described the deceased as someone who hates illegality.
Chinem said: “Yes, it’s true that Comrade Matthew Ebenezer was shot dead yesterday night in his home town, in his father’s compound. The only thing I know about Matthew is that Matthew is not somebody that condole illegality.
“He is somebody that has been standing firm, fighting against cultists and insecurity in the community. And, I believe that is one of the two things that might have led to his death. But, I know he has been a good person in the Akoh Kingdom.
“Yes, the matter has been reported to the police. As I am speaking to you now, they are preparing for his burial.
