Friday was a sad day at the residence of a former State House of Assembly aspirant along the Imiringi Road in Yenagoa as bandits invaded it and shot the PDP chieftain, Odienyefa Ogbolosingha, dead.
Our source gathered that the gunmen t the bandits invaded the 48-year-old Ogbolosingha’s residence along the Imiringi Road in Yenagoa and shot him dead on Friday.
The 48-year-old contested the PDP ticket for the 2023 state House of Assembly election. His elder brother, the late Michael Ogbolosingha, was a former chairman of the Yenagoa Local Government Council. He was from the Kalaba community in the Yenagoa LGA and a member of the Okordia-Zarama Cluster Development Board.
A community source who asked not to be named said the victim’s killers had sent him a warning message with a contractor not to proceed with a road project under the cluster board some weeks prior to the incident.
“They sent him a message some two weeks ago or so warning him and a contractor to desist from embarking on a road project by the cluster board in the community. But he sublet the job. He has been a member of the board for some time.
“Now, yesterday (Friday), they have gunned him down in his house at Imiringi Road, Yenagoa,” the source said.
Bayelsa Police Command has confirmed the incident through the command’s spokesman Asinim Butswat.
He said, “Police operatives responded to a distress call at about 1400hours on Friday 22 July 2022 that armed men shot one Odeinyefa Ogbolosingha at his residence at Imiringi Road, Yenagoa.
“The victim was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa, for treatment, but was confirmed dead. Photograph and other evidence were taken at the scene. Investigation has commenced.”
