”Ejindu was attacked and killed in the late hours of Tuesday by gunmen suspected to be cultists.

Initial reports suggest that the killing was due to clashes between rival political factions vying for control of the 23 local council offices in the state.
An eyewitness, who identified himself as Samson, told reporters that Ejindu was murdered in cold blood by a group supporting a prominent politician in Ahoada.
He stated that the incident occurred shortly after the victim left the Ahoada-East council secretariat, where he had joined other youths in protesting the tenure extension of the outgoing council chairman.
“Ejindu boarded a motorcycle at about 7.00p.m. on Tuesday, and was later ambushed by three gunmen along Ula-Upata Road.
“The gunmen opened fire on him, and he was killed instantly while the motorcyclist sustained gunshot wounds,” he said.
