Gunmen have killed four persons, includ­ing two stalwarts of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in three different attacks in Ogale, Bomu and Elele communities of Eleme, Gokana and Ikw­erre local government ar­eas of Rivers State.

Daily Sun gathered that the two PDP chieftains, Lekia Nzeregbara, and Fred Teedom, were shot dead by the unknown gunmen at the weekend, at Ogale community and Bomu town, in Eleme and Gokana Local Govern­ment Areas of the state respectively.

Chairman, Caretaker Committee of Gokana Local Government Area, Austin Sor, who spoke to newsmen yesterday, con­demned the killings.

He called on security agencies to carry out in­vestigation into the das­tardly acts.

 The incident was con­firmed by a senior police officer attached to Elele Divisional Headquarters.

He said police were making efforts to track down the perpetrators of the act.

But, the state police command was yet to con­firm the killings.
