Okowa’s aide shot dead over crisis in Uvwie

Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s  Special Assistant on Youth Development, Mr Lawrence Ngozi Akpomiemie, has been reportedly shot dead.

Credible sources informed Daily Trust that the governor’s aide, fondly called Ngozi was shot dead on Friday around Ekpan in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.

It was learnt that Ngozi was ambushed by his assailants while returning from an outing with his girlfriend Friday night.

Daily Trust further gathered that he was repeatedly shot on his chest and head as the hoodlums were said to have waited until their target gave up the ghost before leaving.

It could not be confirmed however, at the time of filing this report, if the deceased female acquaintance was also killed by the hoodlums.

Unofficial police source and other security personnel in the area also confirmed the development this morning.
