Chief Joe Mohale a frontline politician in Nnaka has been shot by unknown gunmen. He was the YPP Chairman, Nanka Ward 1. He was killed by political thugs last night after organizing a meeting between the member representing Orumba North and South in the Federal House of Representatives, Hon Princess Chinwe Nnabuife and her Nanka constituents.
It was gathered that Hon Nnebiife was warned not to step into Nanka for the rerun election in some polling units in the community.
She was however threatened not to campaign in Nanka where the Appeal Court ordered for a rerun election. But on Saturday, as a progressive she went to hold a meeting with YPP members in Nanka ward 1 in preparation for the forthcoming election in the community.
The meeting which was organized by Chief Joe Mohale was distrupted by some political thugs suspected to be allegedly working for the YPP candidate arrived the venue in an SUV vehicle and opened fire on the ward chairman.
They were shouting saboteur while shooting at him. His sin was allowing and organizing a meeting for Hon Nnebiife in Nanka despite their threat that she should not step her feet into the community. This is the type of political thuggery PDP was known for in Anambra state between 1999-2010.
This is an unfortunate development. Making a rerun election of very few polling units bloody to intimidate an opponent is highly condemnable.
Security agents in the state must move in now to stop this madness and bring the perpetrators and their sponsors to book for peace to reign in Anambra. .
