Felix Ese Idisi, the acting chairman of
the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ethiope-East Local Government Area of Delta State, was in Sunday shot dead by yet to be identified gunmen.
It is not yet clear what led to the killing but Sen. Omo-Agege, the former Deputy President of the Senate, has condemned the dastardly act in a post on his Facebook page, describing it as a “barbaric act of violence” and an “attack on democracy and the democratic process in Delta State”.
“I am shocked and deeply saddened by the brutal murder of our Acting LGA Chairman in Ethiope East LGA. This act of violence is a stark reminder of the insecurity and lawlessness that have become a menace in our state,” the former lawmaker said.
“I condemn this heinous act in the strongest terms and demand that the Commissioner of Police, Delta State, and the Inspector General of Police leave no stone unturned in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
“The killers who had previously boasted of eliminating their political enemies in the Local Government Area must be arrested, prosecuted, and punished for their crime.
“I must reiterate that killing is not our culture in Delta APC. Our culture is winning hearts one person at a time. Those who are trying to import this evil act into our body polity in APC must desist immediately, as we will do everything within our power to resist this unacceptable evil culture of violence.
“We will not be intimidated or deterred by acts of violence and lawlessness. We will continue to work towards building a peaceful and democratic society where the rule of law is supreme.”
He condoled with the bereaved family, and associates of the deceased.
While urging security agencies to take immediately fish out the perpetrators and ensure that they face the full weight of the law, he promised that justice would be served.
