Why we burnt PDP women leader to death TheNigerialawyer

The man, Ocholli Edicha, suspected to be the gang leader of
those who led some political thugs to burn Mrs Salome Achejuigu,
the PDP women leader to death has confessed that they carried out
the dastardly act because he had been nursing a grudge against the
woman before the Nov 16th governorship election.

Ocholli who spoke with newsmen shortly after been paraded on
Wednesday confessed that he was an All progressive Congress thug
who mobilized some other thugs from Ejule in ofu local government
area to set the house on fire and reigned mayhem shortly after the
election.

It will be recalled that the victim, Mrs Salome Abuh, the Women
Leader of Wada Aro Campaign Council, Ochadamu Ward, was said to
have been burnt alive in her personal residence when she was
resting after treatment from an injury on election day

While reacting to the banal act, the spokesman, Wada/Aro
Campaign Council, Faruk Adejoh-Audu had claimed the thugs, shooting
sporadically, arrived Hon (Mrs) Abuh’s house at about 2pm on the
fateful day and surrounded the house, bolting every exit and escape
from outside.

“They then poured petrol on the building and set it ablaze as
other terrorized villagers watched from hiding. She reportedly
attempted to escape through a window but was prevented by the metal
burglary proof and gun shots with bullets raining in her
direction.

“The blood thirsty thugs waited, shooting and watching with
relish while Mrs Abuh cried from inside the inferno until her voice
died out.
they reportedly left only when the entire house and Mrs Abuh had
been burnt to ashes” he was quoted to have said

But the police commissioner, Hakeem Busari while parading the
suspect with five others said the whole crisis erupted when there
was a misunderstanding between one Gowon Simon and one Awolu Zekeri
which led to the death of the later.

He said the death of Zekeri led to the mobilization of some
angry youths in the town who moved to the house of one Simon Abu
who is an uncle to the suspect where the 60 years woman was burnt
to death.

The CP who said other suspects are on the run however said as
soon as investigation is completed, the suspects will be arraigned
in court.

He gave the names of other suspects who claimed they were only
arrested differently as armed robbers and not killers of Mrs Abuh
as Adamu Haruna, Onu Egbunu, Musa Alido, Attai Haruna and Attah
Eje.

Mrs Abuh was buried last Saturday amidst tears.
