One of his colleagues, Thomas Eluu, confirmed the incident in a Facebook post on Wednesday night.
“My colleague at Ebonyi State House of Assembly, Kingsley Obasi, who happens to be a legislative aide to the deputy speaker, was shot dead today (Wednesday) by unknown men,” he wrote.
The victim was said to be planning his wedding.
A family source said the legislative assistant was killed by suspected armed robbers who also made away with his bag containing money, his wedding invitation cards and other valuables.
“Yes, he was the one. I don’t think it was politically-motivated. I think it was a case of robbery gone badly,” he said.
