Sub-editorGunmen have killed the Peoples Democratic Party’s councilorship candidate in Pari Ward, in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Raymond Timothy, and his brother, James Timothy.
A report quoting a PDP chieftain in the local government area, Barnabas Chawai, disclosed the duo were killed on Sunday evening while returning on a motorcycle from a political campaign in Kizachi Village of Pari Ward, Kauru LG.
He suggested that the killing could be politically motivated, urging security agencies to swing into action and ensure the perpetrators of the dastardly act are brought to book.
“Drastic measures need to be put in place to forestall further occurrence as we approach the October 19 local government poll.
“The victim had three children and the wife was pregnant and expecting a fourth child,” Chawai said.
