The commission of enquiry into politically-motivated killings in Rivers State listened yesterday to how the All Progressives Congress (APC) Youth Leader in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, Mr. Orukwuowu, was murdered on the day of the governorship election. As stated by the wife of the slain youth leader, Mrs Ruth Clever Orukwuowu, while defending her petition to the commission, on April 11, her husband had just finished accreditation when some gunmen in military camouflage, invaded Unit 5 in Idu community and killed him in the presence of other voters. In tears, the widow recalled that if she was not away to answer the call of nature, she too would have been killed. Mrs. Orukwuowu, a 41-year-old mother of seven, said the family got wind of the plot to kill her husband, following the murder of a former Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Chairman Christopher Adube, his three children, driver and cousin at Obrikom. The widow said her family did not know her husband would be killed. Accompanied by her seven children, she urged the APC, the Rivers State Government and the police to protect her family because they feared that the gunmen might still come after them. A Supervisory Councillor in Etche Local Government Area, Mr. Blessing Nwuchigbo, whose family house was razed by suspected members of a rival party, prayed the commission to ask the police to investigate the matter to bring the perpetrators to justice. He alleged that after his house was razed at Ozuzu on March 19, he notified the police. As stated by him, nothing has been done to apprehend the culprits. Kenneth Nwuchigbo and Loveday Onuwa, who also claimed that their houses and other property were razed by suspected Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) thugs, demanded adequate compensation. Also, the PDP yesterday served the commission an interim order of the Federal High Court, Port Harcourt, retraining it from sitting. Despite receiving the court order, which was served by PDPns Legal Adviser, Emma Aguma, the commission entertained petitions from some victims' families. The PDP legal team, led by Aguma, stormed the Obi Wali International Conference Centre, on Eliozu Road in Port Harcourt, where the commission, led by Prof Chidi Odinkalu, was sitting. Aguma presented the court interim order restraining the commission from doing its probe.
