The APC Agent in Ward Unit 11, Mr Sunny Osagiede,disclosed to Vanguard how igie met his untimely death from the hands of callous PDP thugs: He said " the incident was triggered by the arrival of Edorodion in the polling unit with thugs demanding to be accredited long after the accreditation exercise has ended and voting commenced.
“Edoordion’s efforts to get accreditation were rebuffed by the Presiding Officer who told him that voting had already commenced. He was then prevailed upon by the policeman on duty at the unit to leave the area.”
Osagiede went further to revealed how Edorodion turned to devil after receiving a call from the PDP and SDP agents in the ward that the PDP was losing.
“He returned to the ward after the calls with his boys and scattered the ballot boxes and tore the ballot papers into shreds.
“In an attempt to resist them, the APC youth leader, Igie Osagiede, was attacked by the thugs and clubbed to death. His body was also set ablaze. My Mercedes Benz 190 was damaged and the Youth leader’s Mercedes Benz ML 350 4Matic was set ablaze.”
