The pioneer chairman of the People’s Democratic Party for Ward 10 in Abavo, Ika South Local Government Área of Delta State, Elder Francis Amamosa has been killed by gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen in his farm along the corridors of the railway line in Okpe quarters, Abavo.

The octogenarian politician and community leader was said to have been attacked and killed earlier today by the herdsmen who allegedly took over his farm and attempted to kidnap him along with two other farmers.

Elder Amamosa was said to have resisted the kidnappers and questioned their audacity to order him out of his farm following which the gun-toting herdsmen reportedly opened fire at him.

It was gathered that when the bullet failed to penetrate the courageous politician, the assailants resorted to the use of a machete to inflict deadly cuts on him, consequent upon which he reportedly gave up the ghost.

Two other farmers who were with the deceased during the incident were later abducted by the herders.

Meanwhile, the remains of late elder Francis Amamosa have been deposited at the mortuary while the matter has been reported to the Abavo police division for investigations.

A similar report from the area indicates that a middle-aged man was reportedly killed in similar circumstances in Abavo Community on Friday last week.

Following the development, palpable fear and tension are currently pervading the air as people are scared to go to a farm even as social life is completely dead in the area.

When contacted, the spokesperson for the Delta State Police Command, SP Bright Edafe, in a phone chat with NewsNet Nigeria confirmed the incident but said no arrest has been made in connection to the identity of the suspected killers of the octogenarian.
