It is a sad day in Enugu as yet to be identified gunmen operating with a mini bus, attacked a traveller in the early hours of Monday, 11th April, 2022.
The victim was reportedly shot at the popular Chris Chemist junctions, Holy ghost, Enugu before a Sienna bus was set ablaze.
Though the reason for the unprovoked attack isn’t yet known, it might not be unconnected to the illegal sit-at-home which hoodlums are using as an opportunity to perpetrate their evil plots.
Speaking to Journalist101 about the incident, the Enugu State Police Command spokesperson, ASP Daniel Ndukwe said officers of the command in response to the distress call took the victim to the hospital where he was confirmed dead.
He stated that the command has instituted a manhunt of the assailants adding that normalcy has been restored in the area.
“Yet-to-be identified miscreants, operating in a mini bus, shot an unidentified male traveler and in the process torched a Sienna vehicle around Chris Chemist Roundabout, Enugu, in the early morning hours of today.
“The victim was immediately moved to the hospital for treatment by Police Operatives, who responded to a distress call on the incident. He, however, was later confirmed dead by doctors on duty and deposited in the mortuary for preservation and autopsy.
“Meanwhile, manhunt of the assailants has been launched, while the said area and other parts of the State remain relatively peaceful. Further development will be communicated,” he said.
