Ngor Okpala Local Government Area, Imo State, as  the Police Authority from  the  Federal Capital, Abuja throw its Net  to apprehend all those involved in the assassination of Hon Andy Ugwuezumba, the candidate  of  the Labour Party for Ngor Okpala State Assembly in the last  general election.<br \/>\nAccording to impeccable sources, the Police had invited some top politicians from Ngor Okpala as part of its investigation process to unravel the circumstances surrounding the death of the late politician.<br \/>\nTrumpeta learnt that among those invited were some of the candidates who contested the election, their supporters and principals.<br \/>\nSources close to Police told Trumpeta that the invitation extended to such Ngor Okpala politicians was due to information extracted from the major suspect, who is singing like a Bird in Police  Net.<br \/>\nTrumpeta sources said that although some of those invited were released after making statements, they could still be re-invited in the course of police investigation.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, yesterday, women from the late politician&#8217;s community, Obiangwu, barricaded all  roads leading to Imo Airport as they aired their frustration over the death of Mr Ugwuezumba.<br \/>\nThe women all clad in Black clothes, appealed to the police Authorities to make sure that those who had a hand  in Ugwuezumba&#8217;s death are brought to justice.<br \/>\nIt would  be recalled  that  Ugwuezumba&#8217;s vehicle was waylaid on the Umuowa-Obiangwu Airport road some weeks to  the  House of Assembly Election, while returning from a campaign and was shot dead, with his  head blown open.<br \/>\nPolice has since made arrests even as the matter was referred to Force Headquarters Abuja, due to  the enormity of the case.<br \/>\nUgwuezumba was a member of All Progressives Congress APC, where he failed to pick the ticket  of  Imo House of Assembly for Ngor Okpala, but later moved  to Labour Party where he was given  the platform to contest  the  election, but could not make it as  he was assassinated weeks to the election.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fear of the unknown is now pervading Ngor
