Unknown gunmen on Thursday shot a former member
of Rivers State House of Assembly, Monday Eleanya
in Port Harcourt, DailyTrust reports.
A witness said Eleanya, who represented Ogba/
Egbema/Ndoni constituency in Rivers State House of
Assembly between 1999 to 2003 under the platform of
the People Democratic Party (PDP) was shot in the
early hours of Thursday by yet to be identified gunmen.
It was learnt he was driving out of his Ada George
road, Port Harcourt residence when the gunmen
struck.
A colleague of the former lawmaker, George Tolofari
confirmed the incident to journalists in Port Harcourt.
“Eleanya was my friend, brother and former
colleague. I received the news of his murder
with rude shock. “I don’t know the gist of his
recent move to APC, but I know he has been
a committed member of our great party from
when we moved to APC from PDP,” he said.
Fondly called World Bank, Eleanya was a top PDP
member until few months ago when he defected to the
All Progressive Congress (APC).
Spokesman of the Rivers state police command Almad
