Renowned Nigerian actor cum politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, has called out the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, over the killing of the Labour Party (LP) women leader, Victoria Chintex, in the governor’s domain.

Naija News reported earlier that Chintex was confirmed dead after unknown gunmen suspected to be assassins stormed her residence on Monday night, November 28, 2022, and shot her dead while her husband sustained gunshot injuries.

The Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Zone 3, Kaduna State, Edward Simon Buju, confirmed the incident on Tuesday.

Reacting to the sad development, Okonkwo, a spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, said El-Rufai should be blamed for the politician’s death if the perpetrators are not apprehended immediately.

Okonkwo, via his Twitter handle, insisted that El-Rufai, as the Chief Security Officer (CSO) of Kaduna State, would pay for Vintex’s death if her killers were not arrested.

The tweet reads: “The Labour Party Women Leader in Kaura, Kaduna State, Victoria Chintex, was shot dead on Monday, 28th Nov, by suspected assassins.

“The APC Governor of Kaduna State, El-Rufai, should be held responsible for her death as the CSO if the killers are not apprehended immediately”.

Meanwhile, police operatives have arrested a native doctor, identified as Odoh Emmanuel, for killing his client, Onunze Benedict, in Enugu State.

The dire incident occurred in Umuaram Village in the Ikem community of Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State.

The State Police spokesman, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, who confirmed the incident, said: “On 16/11/2022 around 11pm, Police Operatives serving in Isi-Uzo Police Division of the Command, arrested Odoh Emmanuel (male and a native doctor) aged 23, of Umuaram Village in Ikem community of Isi-Uzo LGA, for shooting and murdering his adult male client, one Onunze Benedict, of Eha-Amufu community in the same LGA.

“Preliminary investigation reveals that the suspect confessed to having used a locally-fabricated single-barreled gun to shoot and murder the said victim in his shrine at the mentioned location while testing the gunshot protection charm he had prepared for him. The gun has been recovered, while further investigation is ongoing at the Homicide Section of the State CID Enugu”.
