Gunmen have shot dead the General Manager of Kogi State Investment and Properties Limited, Mrs. Joe Alhassan and an unidentified woman.
Our correspondent gathered on Wednesday that the gunmen attacked the victims on their way from a missionary work in Bassa Local Government Area of Kogi State.
It was further learnt that the attackers opened fire on the vehicle of the missionaries, which left two occupants of the vehicle, including Alhassan, dead and many others injured.
The Kogi State Government described the attack as tragic and senseless, saying it was very said that the two died at a time when their services to the state and their communities were most needed.
The Kogi State Deputy Governor, Mr. Yomi Awoniyi, spoke during a condolence visit to Bishop Emmanuel Egbunu of the Anglican Communion to condole with the church over the death of the two parishioners.
Awoniyi described the circumstances of Alhassan’s death as painful, adding that the state had lost one of its finest, and best materials.
He described Alhassan as a wonderful personality, a complete woman and a good mother, praying God to grant her husband, children and her immediate family the fortitude to bear the loss.
Proudly Oma Ofu LGA, Hon. Egwu speech happened to be true. President Baba Buhari please help Kogi State to rebuild Ajaokuta Steel for the betterment of Nigerians and International body.
Egwu, stop all this blame game, tell us your contributions at the floor of the house as it affect your constituency.
We have not seeing your contribution in the lower chamber since the commencment of the 8th assembly. Pl wake up from your slumber.
Your contribution will be needed to see Ajaokuta work.
You are part of the government of the day, what has been your contribution to the development of your constituency in the last one year. stop the blame game and work.
Proudly Ofu LGA!!!
Distinguish Hon. Egwu has a point, the Steal Company ran into this mess during Buhari`s military regime, and if he has no sentiment about the location of the company he should challenge us by reviving the Steal Company especially now that Nigeria need diversify her economy.
Your comment…l am hearing Hon Egwu speaking. The problem we have is the issue of Margeligation. lf the Ajastel is functioning,not only the people from north central will work there, the managing Director will posted from far north.
Your comment…bringing out an ideology considered developmental is quite a welcome development. but sir in ur little tour in the politics, how many lives have u blessed, how scholars have u raised and how many poor u helped? d game of deceit, dats politics. though u Ar right dat d presidency from inception is against d project but he can stop it
Na wao Babagida from middle belt rule for eight years you no blame am , Obasanjo a yoruba rule for another eight years you no blame am , jonathan from s/s rule for six years you no blame am, you are blaming buhari who has not rule up to three years as both millitary and democratic head of state for ajokuta steel complex problem.why cant pdp do anything about ajokuta in their sixteen year of leadership of nigeria state. abeg gerout.
Egwu,,,,u try but we need seriously prayer in kogi state especially IDAH AGIS, may God help us tru.
Some people talk as if they are not educated @Hussain. The job of the house of rep member is to speak unbehalf of his constituency a rule Hon. Egwu just displayed and instead of commending him u are blaming him asking him to carryout the function of the executive. There is a minister from the same constituency I think in the person of Audi Ogbe what did u tell him. Was he not there when tomato pests ravage our tomato for over three months. As minister for agriculture we aspect more from him. Let’s stop playing politics at this crucial time. We need to be unified against marginalization.
As for me no body have done what Emma Egwu is doing in de history of House of rep so kudos for u my oga.how do u expect just a member of house of rep to renew ajokuta steel company for kogite when we have minister in de house u people should stop bleming Eguw for noting
Your comment…better speak than to left a death rat smelling. Egwu have spoken well even if is not his constituency, the betterment of kogi state is in our hands let stop all this politics and think on how to move our dear state to the next level. Kogite let unite because United will stand and divided will fall.
Your comment…honorable Emmanuel Makoji Egwu, we are so very proud of u , we tank God that we have someone like u no one had ever did what u are done so far I can remembered that we started enjoying u even when u av not contested for representing us , pls my fellow kogites let 4get about sentiment ,Emmanuel Makoji Egwu have a lot of which I can’t list up till date he still working on so many things , by God grace, you are the next governor of kogi state Insha Allah by grace the touch bearer may d good God be with you Amen…….
