Hon. Ochuko Jude Adjekpovu, the councillor representing Ward 5 in the Ethiope East Local Government Council in Delta State, has died after being shot by gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen.
Hon. Adjekpovu died a week after he was allegedly shot by suspected herdsmen on his way back from a function along the Eku/Abraka road.
Multiple sources disclosed that the suspected herdsmen blocked the Eku-Abraka road at about 5:30pm and fired several bullets into the councilor’s car that ended up in the politician’s abdomen.
The lawmaker, who represented the people of Ward 17 Ovu-Inland, was said to have died in a hospital where was receiving medical treatment in Warri.
The Council was thrown into a state of mourning in the early hours of Thursday, December 16, when the news filtered into the area that the lawmaker is dead.
