The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has demanded immediate arrest and prosecution of the killers of the Labour Party’s Women Leader in the Kaura Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Victoria Chintex.
SaharaReporters reported that Victoria died on Monday after gunmen invaded her residence in Kaura and shot her.
It was gathered that Victoria’s husband was also shot in his leg but was rushed to an undisclosed medical facility where he is currently receiving treatment.
A statement by the Labour Party Publicity Secretary in the Southern Kaduna Senatorial Zone, Edward Buju, had said that “The Southern Kaduna (Zone 3) Labour Party commiserates with the party chairman and his excos in Kaura local government area, over the untimely demise of our mother and sister, Mrs Victoria Chintex, woman leader, Kaura local government who was killed yesterday (Monday) by some unknown gunmen in her residence in Kaura.”
Reacting to the incident, Sowore condemned the killing saying that political violence of any kind was criminal and totally unacceptable.
He said, “Political violence of any kind is unacceptable and criminal. I condemn the assassination of @NgLabour woman leader, Victoria Chintex, Kaura LGA in Kaduna State.
“I urge Nigerian authorities to ensure her killers are immediately apprehended and prosecuted.”
