The hoodlums also burnt Kenneth’s house and damaged the vehicles of his brother, who is a retired soldier.
The incident happened at Umuokwe, Eziawo 1, in the local government area, as tension in the the area is high for the fear of the unknown.
According to Don Uba said, “The Peoples Democratic Party youth leader in the Oru-East LGA, Kenneth Amukamara, was assassinated this morning (Tuesday) in his country home.
