The Idoma nation is in mourning following the assassination of Hon. Ejeh Udeh, a prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who was gunned down in the early hours of Monday.


The tragic incident occurred shortly after midnight at his residence in Ugboju, Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State. Eyewitnesses reported that armed men, arriving on motorcycles, laid an ambush and shot him at close range as he entered his compound. His remains have since been taken to the Otukpo morgue.


Hon. Udeh, said to be the brother of a former local government chairman, was a respected political figure and a familiar face in the Idoma political landscape.


His untimely death has thrown Ugboju and the wider Otukpo community into shock and grief, with residents describing the assassination as a devastating blow to the people.
