It was tears in Rivers state as a popular All Progressives Congress chieftain, wife and son were buried today after they were murdered by yet to be identified assassins.

 

 

The late Comr Franklin Obi, the Ward 4 chairman in Omoku, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA of Rivers State, was gruesomely murdered alongside his wife Iheoma Obi and their 18-year-old son, Bestman Obi, in March 2016.

 

 

The politician was beheaded by the gunmen who stormed the man's house around 9pm before shooting the other family members dead. Six of the man's children survived the onslaught and attended the burial.

 

 

According to Maria Ude Nwachi, "the assailants took the head of the APC leader away, while the daughter of the deceased, Victory, cried at the sight of the gruesome killing of her dad, mum and brother. The unknown assailants left behind six orphans as seen in the picture."
