Her husband was also said to have sustained gunshot injuries and is currently receiving treatment at a medical facility.
“The Southern Kaduna (Zone 3) Labour Party commiserates with the party chairman and his exco in Kaura Local Government Area, over the untimely demise of our mother and sister, Mrs Victoria Chintex, woman leader, Kaura Local Government Area, who was killed yesterday (Monday) by gunmen in her residence in Kaura,” the statement read.
Buju, who described the deceased as “industrious, hard working and a dedicated party leader,” urged LP members at all levels in the state to pray for the repose of her soul.
Buju said: “More so, as we await the burial plans by the family, the Zone 3 Labour Party will make support to her family.
“On behalf of our presidential candidate, Peter Obi; our gubernatorial candidate in Kaduna State, Jonathan Asake; the party senatorial candidate for Southern Kaduna zone, Mike Auta, we call on the people of Kaura LGA, to be law abiding as vengeance is of the Lord.”

Follow us on social media:I am shocked by the mindless killing of Mrs. Victoria Chintex, the Labour Party’s women leader in Kaura, Kaduna State, by yet to be identified gunmen. Her death is a huge loss to her immediate and extended family, and to our Labour Party. She lives on in our hearts.
