NDC Denounces Murder of Fiidi Ward Chairman Igbu Terhemen

The Nigeria Democratic Congress, Benue State Chapter, condemned the murder of Igbu Terhemen, the party’s Fiidi Ward Council Chairman, who was attacked by suspected hoodlums in the Makurdi Local Government Area. Igbu was reportedly tied with ropes, injected with suspected poisonous substances, and left near his residence along the Makurdi-Otukpo Road.

He was found in an almost unconscious state and was unable to communicate before he passed away. Agile Bem, the State Publicity Secretary, issued a statement on Wednesday, where Mr. Ohini Ojegbe, the State Chairman, described the killing as a “broad-daylight evil.” The party urged security agencies to investigate the incident, apprehend those responsible, and ensure justice is served.

The NDC recognized Igbu as a committed member whose contributions would be greatly missed, especially during a critical time for the party. They extended condolences to his family, the Fiidi community, and the entire NDC family.
