Even after Mr. Yahaya Bello was announced winner of the Kogi gubernatorial election, thugs have continued on their killing spree. The Woman Leader of Wada Aro Campaign Council, Ochadamu Ward, Hon. Mrs. Acheju Abuh was on Monday burnt alive in her home by thugs yet to be identified who they are loyal to.
In a statement by Mr. Faruk Adejoh-Audu, Head Communication, Wada/Aro campaign, he said that the thugs were chanting GYB 4+4, they shot sporadically, arrived at Hon. (Mrs) Abuh’s house at about 2pm and surrounded the house, bolting every exit and escape from outside.
They then poured petrol on the building and set it ablaze as other terrorised 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.
“There are fears that the killing spree may escalate over the night. So far there’s no indication that the Kogi State Police will arrest her killers or even prevent further attacks and killings of our people.
We are calling on all men of good conscience to immediately help the people of Kogi State appeal to the Inspector General of Police to rein in Bello’s thugs and protect our people whose only crime was that they voted for their choice, a vote that was never allowed to count. Unless Nigerians of Good conscience immediately come to our aid innocent people may die worse agonising deaths as the blood lust of Mr. Bello and his supporters continue”. The statement added .
