ENUGU, Nigeria – The political landscape of Enugu State was shaken on Wednesday, April 26, 2023, after the body of Dons Udeh, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) governorship aspirant in the 2023 general election, was found in the 9th Mile area of the state.
Udeh, who went missing just four days ago, was confirmed dead by the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe.
