dr. Innocent Barikor, the running mate of the All Progressives Congress governor in Rivers state, has reportedly been attacked by gunmen.
Barikor was attacked after he left his office at GRA on Tuesday evening for a meeting at an unknown location.
The Nation reported that his police sitter had no luck when the gunmen shot and killed him on the spot. It was also disclosed that Barikor was attacked in front of a popular nightclub in GRA.
A source said;
“Barikor escaped through the whiskers, but his police officer was out of luck because the bullets hit him on the spot and killed him.”
APC’s deputy publicity secretary, Darlington Nwauju, confirmed that the party’s running mate was attacked by “murderers” who complained that his police officer had been killed in the incident.
Nwauju called for a thorough investigation into the incident and asked the Inspector General of Police to weigh in.
Commenting on the incident, Rivers State Police Spokesperson Grace Iringe-Koko said there was no homicide.
She said;
“It wasn’t murder. Indeed, a policeman was shot. I think he was targeted because they saw him with a gun. Nothing happened to the candidate. We are investigating the incident and the place is surrounded.”
