Meanwhile, the Chairman of Enugu State Labor Party has insisted that the Late Oyibo Chukwu was assassinated.

He stated that Oyibo Chukwu was shot in his vehicle and set ablaze.

“They planned it; the man was coming back from his village Amuri and they double-crossed him at Amechi. They shot him in his car alongside other occupants and poured fuel in his vehicle and burnt it. So it wasn’t an accident or armed robbery; nothing like that. It was well-planned and executed.

“So he was murdered. Oyibo Chukwu was murdered by assailants. Investigations are still on but the party sees it as a political murder.” He added.
