Armed men had
allegedly attempted to kill Mr Dike who is a one-time Caretaker Committee
Chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of the state.
A foiled attempt to
allegedly assassinate a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in
Rivers State, Mr Chikordi Dike, has claimed the life of a police escort
attached to him.
The suspected assassins
attacked their victims around Polo Club in GRA phase 2 and engaged the only
policeman attached to Dike in a exchange of gunfire.
A senior police officer who
related the incident disclosed the name of the late police officer as Corporal
Yakubu.
The officer said Mr Yakubu
was gunned down around 11pm, Tuesday night, after he was over powered by the
suspected assassins while he was trying to protect his boss.
At press time the Rivers
State Police Command is yet to give an official statement on the development.
