The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Ebonyi State, Benard Odoh, has denied knowledge of the murder of the traditional ruler of the Umueze-koha community, Ezeogo Igboke Ewa.
In a statement on Tuesday, the governorship candidate said allegations of complicity against him were malicious, baseless, spurious and should be disregarded. He added that he has secured an order from an Owerri High Court restraining the police or their agents from arresting or harassing him.
Following the assassination of Ewa on February 26 by gunmen, the Ebonyi State Police Command declared Odoh and nine other persons wanted on Monday.
Until his gruesome murder, the victim was the Chairman of Ezza Traditional Rulers in Ezza North LGA of Ebonyi.
