Uche Egbuche.
Ekitu Agbomah, who was arrested and detained at the Police Criminal Investigation Department in Asaba headquarters, allegedly boasted at the Illah Divisional Police Station saying; “In politics I can kill anybody and nothing will happen”.
It was revealed that Agbomah was nominated as an Ad-hoc delegate but lost the contest during the 5-man Electoral College, he polled only two votes against three which automatically disqualified him.

“After the Electoral College voting, I was leaving in my vehicle when he and his boys blocked my vehicle on the road and started dragging and pulling me out of my vehicle and because I was on my car seat belt, it became difficult to pull me out and his younger brother used a bamboo stick to shook my face almost blinding my eyes”.
