Gunmen suspected to cultists brutally assassinated one Ade Adeyemo, a Site Engineer working for a Contractor renovating Birabi Memorial Grammar School, Bori, in Khana Local Government area on Tuesday morning. The Engineer was killed at the site of the project.

The Engineer was killed at the site of the project.

There were speculations that the Site Engineer may have been killed by those who felt that he had been a stumbling block from the continuous looting of the building materials at the project site.

The school is one of those selected by Governor Nyesom Wike’s administration to undergo renovation in the community.

According a close source to the family “It has been very difficult breaking the sad news to parents because of their state of health. His mother is hypertensive, while his father is recuperating from partial stroke.”

It was further learnt that the General Overseer of the  Church where the family of the late engineer worships had been contacted to find a subtle way of breaking the devastating news without causing serious trauma to the parents.

Omoni Nnamdi, the Rivers Police Public Relations Officer told our Correspondent exclusively on phone that the sad incident was true.

“I can confirm to you that is true.When we were alerted, but before our men got to the scene they (gunmen) had taken off. I can assure that the culprits have been identified and we are on their trail,” the Police spokesperson said.

The corpse of the late Engineer Ade Adeyemo has been moved from the morgue and later moved to the Kpaima Morgue in Port Harcourt.

Recall could be made the ex-warlord Sunday Ndigbara aka Osama bin Laden had picked holes in extension of Amnesty and surrendering of guns as not far-reaching because people like him have not been consulted and not part of it because the federal forces have declared him wanted.
