A senior lecturer at the Ignatius
Ajuru University of Education, Rivers State Dr Ebirien Fubara has been killed
along with his son at their residence in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Fubara was the Returning Officer
in the March 28, House of Representatives election for Obio Akpor federal
constituency in Rivers State.
Vanguard reports that the
assassins, who stormed his Odili Road residence in Port Harcourt, first killed
his son with a rod and then went for the father, clubbing him till he fell
unconscious, although they apparently thought he was dead.
According to reports, Dr Fubara
died on Sunday (a day after the attack) at a hospital in Port Harcourt and his
remains deposited in a morgue.
Before his death, Fubara had been
appointed a Commissioner in the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission,
RSIEC, by Governor Nyesom Wike.
When Vanguard contacted the state
Police Public Relations Officer, Ahmad Muhammad, he said the police was not
aware of the incident.
