The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress Festus Fuanter has said that the late Plateau State Publicity Secretary, Sylvanus Namang received many death threats before he was killed.
The All Progressives Congress in Plateau State was thrown into mourning on Sunday following the killing of its Publicity Secretary, Sylvanus Namang.
According to The PUNCH, the National Secretary of the APC, Festus Fuanter, who described Namang’s death as a big blow to the party, demanded a thorough investigation.
Fuanter said, “His death is quite sad. If it was a case of kidnapping, they would have abducted him and left. Why kill him on the spot? We are waiting for the outcome of any possible investigation and security report on the circumstances surrounding the incident and we will respond appropriately.
“Because, before now, he has received more than 20 threats to his life, some of which he has reported to the security authorities.”
Namang, who hails from the Mangu Local Government Area, was shot dead in the neighbouring Pankshin LGA where he attended a burial on Saturday.
He was said to be buying something in a shop in the area when the hoodlums gunned him down.
