It was a sad and gloomy weekend in Benin, Edo State as the nephew to Mr Ehiogie West-Idahosa, Mr. Perebowei Ogei, who was killed along with his police orderly while returning from a bank few metres from his house was laid to rest in their family compound in Uwa Street, Benin City.

 Family members, friends and well-wishers could not hold back tears during the interment.

The family members have called on the Edo State Police Command to expedite action in fishing out those responsible for the killings and ensure that they were brought to book.

West-Idahosa was a senatorial aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for Edo South senatorial district and was preparing for the party’s primaries to elect who will represent the zone on the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, when the incident occurred.

He lost the ticket to Mr. Matthew Urhoghide, who won the primaries.

Late Perebowei Ogei had just returned to the country from abroad where he had his Masters degree when he met his untimely death.
