The Delta State Police Command has confirmed the tragic killing of Sir Paul Offor, a respected community leader and businessman, in Issele-Azagba, Aniocha North Local Government Area.

Offor, a Knight of the Catholic Church and an All Progressives Congress (APC) leader was reportedly m8rdered on Tuesday night, December 10, 2024 in his office located at the busy community gate within the state capital, on the Benin-Asaba expressway.

The spokesperson of the police in the state, SP Bright Edafe, who confirmed the incident on Thursday, said the command is leaving no stone unturned in the effort to apprehend the k!llers.

According to the Nigerian Tribune, the late Offor was  stabbed to d3ath, and his office door was shut against him.

This may have been because neighbours in the business premises generally believed that he had closed for the day and gone home, as he often worked alone.

The office served as his agency office for a commercial bank, POS, and real estate services

The heinous act was discovered on Wednesday morning when his relatives, who also operated POS services, came to inquired from neighbours within the popular Dema Kitchen business premises about his whereabouts, as he didn’t return home.

Pandemonium ensued immediately as many people from the town joined the crowd that had gathered in front of the office at Dema Kitchen to catch a glimpse of the horrible sight of the slain elder.

Meanwhile, his remains have been evacuated by the police to the mortuary.
