Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to the killing of its Ward Chairman in Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State, Mr Tersoo Ahu.<\/p>\n

The party called on all security agencies to ensure that the killers are brought to book, stressing that APC remains a peaceful party both in the state and across the nation.<\/p>\n

The Chairman was reportedly killed by hoodlums on Sunday in Gboko Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.<\/p>\n

Mr James Ornguga, the state APC Publicity Secretary, told NAN in Makurdi on Sunday that the party totally condemned the killing.<\/p>\n

The incident took place at the APC membership registration\/revalidation training centre for ward and polling units officers in Gboko.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strongly condemn the killing of our ward chairman. APC is a very peaceful party, and we don\u2019t believe in violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, wherever this is coming from, the party frowns at it. We call on the security agencies to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the police command in the state had earlier confirmed the killing of Ahu by hoodlums at the training centre, adding that investigation had already begun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
