Gunmen have killed Christian Ihim, the ward chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Umuchoke ward in Okwe in the Onuimo Local Government of Imo State.
It was gathered that the gunmen also kidnapped five other APC chieftains in the community, before heading to a neighboring town called Okwelle where they also abducted a female member of the party identified as Onyinyechi Egenti.
Sources said that the attackers shot repeatedly all through Tuesday night, forcing the villagers to abandon their homes and run for their lives.
