A young politician and community mobilizer in Ebubu, Eleme Local Government Area of Rivers State, Samuel Obe Ngobe, has been killed by gunmen suspected to be assassins.

DAILY POST gathered on Monday that the incident occurred on May 22 when the assailants invaded a hotel in the community owned by the deceased and shot him dead.

The two suspects, who were masked, invaded the area on a motorbike and went straight to the politician and opened fire on him.

The PPRO said, “Investigation is ongoing on the matter”.
