He, also disclosed that those who killed him had earlier boasted of killing all political enemies.

“I condemn this heinous act in the strongest terms and demand that the Commissioner of Police, Delta State, and the Inspector General of Police leave no stone unturned in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
“The killers who had previously boasted of eliminating their political enemies in the Local Government Area must be arrested, prosecuted, and punished for their crime.
“I must reiterate that killing is not our culture in Delta APC. Our culture is winning hearts, one person at a time. Those who are trying to import this evil act into our body polity in APC must desist immediately, as we will do everything within our power to resist unacceptable evil culture of violence.
“We will not be intimidated or deterred by acts of violence and lawlessness. We will continue to work towards building a peaceful and democratic society where the rule of law is supreme.”
Omo-Agege called for the immediate arrest of the perpetrators so they be made to face the full wrath of the law.
