Police Investigation Underway
According to police spokesperson SP Bright Edafe, the command received reports about the horrific incident and has immediately launched an investigation. The killing occurred in the Okpara Waterside community, though specific details surrounding the attack remain unclear as authorities continue their probe.
"We got a report that he was murdered and we are presently investigating," stated Edafe, emphasizing that the police are treating this case with utmost seriousness.
APC Reacts with Outrage and Grief
The murder has triggered intense outrage within the Delta State chapter of the APC, which issued a strongly worded statement condemning the act. Mr. Valentine Onojeghuo, the APC State Publicity Secretary, described Idisi's death as a "brutal and condemnable killing" that has devastated the party.
The party demanded that security agencies conduct what it called a "thorough, uncompromising, and professional investigation" into what it termed a cruel and senseless murder. They insisted that all perpetrators and sponsors must be identified and brought to justice without delay.
In their tribute, the APC described Idisi as a loyal, committed, and dependable party stalwart whose death has created a painful void in his community and within APC's Ethiope East Ward 4. "His death is not just a loss; it is a heavy blow that has plunged the Party into mourning," the statement noted.
The party extended its deepest condolences to Idisi's family, friends, and political associates during this difficult time.
