The Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Sen Ede Dafinone has called for the arrest and prosection of the killers of Ethiope East Local Government, vice chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Mr Ese Idisi.
The Senator who mourned the death of Idisi in a statement urged security operatives to unravel the circumstances behind the death.
According to the statement signed by Sen Ede Dafinone, “I, am deeply shocked, sad and utterly condemn the brutal killing of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Ethiope East Local Government Area Vice Chairman, Mr Ese Idisi. This horrific act is not only a devastating loss to his family and our party but also to Delta State.
“Mr Idisi was a dedicated party man who served with loyalty, commitment, and an unwavering belief in democracy.
“I call on the Nigeria Police Force and all relevant security agencies to immediately launch a full-scale, transparent, and uncompromising investigation into this heinous crime. Those behind the murder of Mr Idisi must be identified, apprehended, and prosecuted without delay. Justice must not only be served—it must be seen to be served.
“This is a moment that demands calm, restraint, and faith in the justice system. I urge all APC members, supporters, and residents of Ethiope East to avoid taking the law into their own hands. Violence will only deepen our wounds and distract us from the urgent task of ensuring justice for Mr Idisi. Let us allow the police and security agencies the space and cooperation needed to do their work effectively.
“We also call on community leaders, youths, and stakeholders across Ethiope East to join hands with the authorities by providing useful information that can facilitate swift action. Security is a collective responsibility, and your cooperation may prove invaluable in bringing the culprits to justice and preventing further occurrences of such violence.
“On behalf of my family and political associates, I extend heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Mr Ese Idisi, the APC leadership in Delta State, and the people of Ethiope East. His death is a colossal loss, and we stand with all who mourn him. May his soul rest in perfect peace, and may justice prevail.”
