Darlington Nwauju, the state APC Publicity Secretary, confirmed the incident.
“He was abducted from his polling unit during the voting process and taken away,” Nwauju stated.
“Nobody knew where they took him to. It was later yesterday evening (Saturday) that his body was discovered. He was the APC LGA caretaker chairman and a PhD student at the Rivers State University.”
