ABUDU(EDO STATE) – Tragedy struck recently in Abudu, Orhionmwon local government area of Edo State as faceless men alleged to be political mafias gravely attacked one Samuel Meshack, the alleged only son of the late Peoples Democratic(PDP) party stalwart and former chairman of the ruling party in Orhionmwon local government chapter in 2010, late Hon.

Hon. Agbasco who was contesting the position of the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic party, was said to have arrived at the primaries election venue in the morning only to be confronted by the alleged political thugs who invaded the scene at about 10am and suddenly sprayed bullets at aspirant.
According to findings, his wife, Mrs. Samuel Elizabeth, a strong stunt of the PDP was said to have also vowed to unravel the circumstances surrounding the death of her husband but was prevailed upon by party faithfuls on the need to drop her move with a view to continue from where her late husband stopped politically.
