An APGA supporter in the area, Mr Chijoke disclosed that the Late Idoko was busy making arrangements for a rescheduled visit to the area by the APGA governorship candidate, Professor Benard Odoh before his life was cut short.

The attackers killed the personal driver and a police inspector attached to the convoy of the APGA guber candidate.
