This was disclosed by the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, William Aya.
Aya said that there was a misunderstanding between Awolu Zekeri, a member of the APC and Gowon Simeon, a member of the PDP, both of Ochadamu ward.
According to him, angry youths then mobilised themselves to Simeon’s home for a reprisal, where the PDP women leader was killed.
He added that security operatives have been deployed in the area to prevent the breakdown of law and order while investigation is ongoing.
But Faruk Adejoh-Audu, spokesman of PDP Wada/Aro campaign council, had earlier, on Monday, said that thugs arrived Abuh’s house at about 2pm and were shooting sporadically. He said the thugs surrounded the house and blocked every exit from outside.
He said Abuh reportedly attempted to escape through a window but was prevented by the iron burglar proof and gunshots fired in her direction.
Adejoh-Audu said the thugs waited and watched Abuh crying from inside the inferno until her voice died out, then left when the house and the victim were totally burnt.
He said there was no indication that the Kogi State police “will arrest her killers or even prevent further attacks and killings of our people.” Dailypost
