(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Gunmen have killed a former Organizing Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party in Mangu Ward 1, Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, Nehemiah Goholshak.

Goholshak was killed after assailants attacked his house in the community

A resident of the community, Chris Yakubu, stated that the incident happened on Saturday night.

According to Yakubu, an unidentified corps was also found on the same day along Mangu-Bokkos road close to the community where the former PDP official was killed.

He said: “We are just coming back from a sympathy visit to the family house of Nehemiah Goholshak, a 30-year-old Man who was shot dead by gunmen on August 27, 2022.

“He was a former PDP organizing secretary in Mangu Ward, Mangu LGA.

“Nehemiah was at his house in Dangper village when some gunmen came and shot him dead around 7 pm.

“His Uncle Mr Timothy Goholshak confirmed that he died instantly. So, he was buried yesterday (Sunday) and the community has been in mourning since then.

“I’m particularly not happy because two years ago, Nehemiah’s elder brother was also shot and killed in the same house and spot by gunmen who attacked him.

“What is happening in that axis is rather unfortunate because that same day that Nehemiah was killed, another corps was found around Mangu Bokkos road very close to the Danger village. It was the security men that came and took the corps to mortuary.”

The police are yet to issue a statement concerning the development as of the time of filing this report.
