ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – The governorship candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance(APGA), Ifeanyi Odoh, has been declared wanted by the Police in Ebonyi State.
Odoh was declared wanted alongside nine others on Monday over the murder of a monarch, Igbokwe Ewa.
It was gathered that the monarch was killed last Monday in his country home by yet to be identified gunmen.
Ewa was the traditional ruler of Umu-Ezekoha community in Ezza North Local Government Area.

He said: “The Ebonyi State Police Command has declared the under-listed persons wanted in connection with the murder of his Royal Highness Eze Christopher Igboke Ewa of Umu-Ezekoha Community in Ezza North.”
