A strong PDP member shot dead in plateau and daughter injured

Some gunmen Wednesday night attacked and
killed the deputy Chairman of the People’s
Democratic Party of Sop Ward, Riyom Local
Government Area, Plateau state, Solomon
Mwadvwang, and injured his daughter,
Emmanuela Mwadvwang.
A member of Mr. Mwadvwang’s family said the
assailants stormed the residence of the
politician and shot sporadically.
However, Mr. Mwadvwang was away at a
meeting at the time.
“Our father was still away for a meeting, and was
shot to death on arrival by the gunmen who were
about to leave at about 10:00p.m. when he
returned home. By then they had injured
Emmanuela,” the family member said.
Emmanuela was taken to the Vom Christian
Hospital, where she is receiving treatment.
Speaking on the death of Mr. Mwadvwang, a
member of the Plateau State House of Assembly
representing Riyom, Daniel Dem, condemned the
acts and called on security agencies to fish out
those killing innocent citizens in the state.
Unknown gunmen had also killed a ward
chairman of the All Progressive Congress last
Sunday in Barkinladi.
The spokesperson for the Plateau State
Command of the Nigeria Police, Emmanuel Abuh,
confirmed the incident to journalists in Jos on
Thursday.
Mr. Abuh revealed that there was also a road
accident in Bisichi, Barkinladi Local Government
Area, in which a man and his two children were
killed.
He said the road incident was being investigated.
