A cloud of grief and fear has settled over Port Harcourt following the brutal killing of the Chief Executive Officer of Special Bensington’s Ushers, a prominent event-hosting agency. The victim, whose identity is synonymous with the brand, was reportedly ambushed and shot six times on Sunday while traveling along the Peter Odili Road axis of the Rivers State capital.
Witness accounts suggest the CEO was en route to inspect an event center for an upcoming engagement when gunmen intercepted her vehicle. The precision of the attack, occurring in broad daylight on one of the city’s busiest commercial arteries, has sent shockwaves through the local business community and the events industry.
While the motive remains unclear, the sheer violence of the act has led many to speculate on a targeted assassination. Local authorities have been briefed, though an official statement from the Rivers State Police Command is still pending regarding the pursuit of the assailants.
Colleagues and industry peers have begun pouring out tributes online, describing her as a trailblazer in the Port Harcourt hospitality sector who built her agency into a household name. As of Sunday evening, the scene at Peter Odili Road remained a grim reminder of the escalating insecurity concerns voiced by residents in recent months.
