Benue chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC has called for an urgent investigation into the gruesome assassination of Hon. Jasper Iornem Dzughgba who was murdered at the Adikpo Y-junction on Monday July 1, 2019.
The APC in a statement said “Hon. Dzughgba was until his assassination, the immediate-past Leader of Kwande Legislative Council and a critical witness in both the Benue State Governorship Election Petition and the Zone A Senatorial Petition before the tribunal.
“As a strong loyalist of the All Progressives Congress, Hon. Dzughgba had stood his ground, rejecting outrightly the pressure to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP when majority of his colleague councillors cross carpeted.
“Benue APC finds the circumstances surrounding his murder by unidentified assasins as strange and suspect a possible ploy by the murderers to kill an eloquent testifier at the tribunal.
“The party commiserates with the Dzughgba family and Kwande APC over the death of our loyal party member.
“We call on security agents to unravel all mysteries surrounding his death and apprehend the killers to face justice.
“The assassination of APC loyalists in Benue State is becoming too frequent and people of conscience must rise to seek an end to this swelling evil.” They added.
