The Vigilante Group of Nigeria Public Relations Officer in Delta State, Voke Ubuara expressed sadness over the incident.
He said for the past six to seven years, criminals in the town have found it difficult to use the waterways which were part of Asikolo’s jurisdiction.
“Before, when criminals operate in the town, the waterway was an easy escape route, but Asikolo when he assumed office became a stumbling block to that arrangement.
“We will partner with the police to see how we can fish out his killers,” he added.
When contacted, the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Edafe Bright confirmed the incident.
