Suspected assassins have shot dead a top official of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Olala Osondu, in Rivers State.
The incident occurred at the wee hours of yesterday at his residence off Ada-George Road in Port Harcourt.
Osondu was the party’s secretary general in Ahoada West Local Government Area of the state.
Daily Sun gathered that the deceased was assassinated in front of his compound as he arrived from a meeting few minutes after midnight.
A source, who did not want his name to be mentioned, said the deceased’s wife said she heard two gunshots outside their compound after sighting her husband’s car.
According to the source, when the deceased’s wife came outside shortly after the gunshots, she found her husband in the pool of blood.
