They however found his body dismembered beside a bush path.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1410554190131_9700\">The matter has been reported to police.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1410554190131_9701\">On whether the family or government read political motive to the gruesome muurder, Mrs Semenitari said: \u201cThe man is the Vice Principal of a school and a quiet civil servant. He is not a card carrying member of APC and he is not a contractor. Naturally, as a governor\u2019s relation he may be sympathetic to the governor\u2019s political beliefs but nothing more.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1410554190131_9702\">\u201cBut we are hesitant to think that the gruesome murder is politically motivated. All fingers point to that fact but we need to be cautious. This to us is ominous, especially now that the elections are around the corner,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1410554190131_9703\">\u201cThe governor has refused to comment on the murder because the victim is his relation,\u201d Semenatiri said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1410554190131_9704\">She however said that \u201cthe government enjoins the police to unravel the killers and they should they should be brought to book. This should not be one such killings that will join the league of unresolved murders and other heinous crimes in the country,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1410554190131_9706\">PM News<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"base-card-clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1410554190131_9705\" class=\"base-card-footer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"slot_N\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"boss-env css-env\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"boss-help x-large\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"boss-passive preview-toggle icon icon-grid-layout\" style=\"color: #000000;\" title=\"Show or hide Previews\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1410554190131_1825\" class=\"attribution-bar themes-opened boss-hide\" style=\"color: #000000;\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1410554190131_5170\" class=\"attribution\" data-title=\"Show or hide the Postcard Gallery\">\n<div class=\"att-theme icon icon-theme\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"loader\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"att-whimsy att-txt\">Nice and tidy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"slot_RS\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"slot_RS2\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"slot_FSRVY\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui3-css-stamp\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"mobilizer\" class=\"mobilizer-in-nav\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sabinus Ordu, uncle of Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State has been murdered by unknown persons at his farm in Ubima, Ikwerre local government area of the state on Monday&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31177,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
