Paul Ishabor who was visibly in shock and grief made this statement when a delegation of the Team-Ishabor paid him a visit in his Calabar residence on Monday morning, the 12th of June. Here's his statement below!
'It's so painful that human beings can hack a fellow human being, in such a gruesome manner, to death. I really do not understand what Ogoja is turning into with incessant cult wars. It's high time we all stand up against this blood- thirsty demons that have infiltrated our once peaceful town. No true son of Ogoja can do this to his brother. We must join hands with the authorities to comb this demons out of Ogoja'.
The chairmanship aspirant added that He has always known his cousin, Dominic Modey, as a fearless and courageous young man who stands for the truth and justice and have always condemned cultism and its promoters.
