Gunmen have killed two persons in the Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State.

According to eyewitnesses, the gunmen, operating on a motorcycle, double-crossed the victims while they were driving in a red Toyota Camry car in Egbebelu village of Nanka, a community in the area.

One of the residents said that the gunmen suddenly opened fire on the victims, killing one of them at the spot.

One of the victims was said to be a lawyer who was driving home from a court after a hearing, while the second victim was his client.

The police authorities in Anambra State confirmed the attack as well as the killing of the victims.

The spokesman of the state police command, Tochukwu Ikenga, issued a statement, saying the Commissioner of Police, Ikioye Orutugu, visited the scene of the attack, which occurred on Thursday.

Orutugu visited the scene in the company of senior officers, including the state deputy commissioner of police in charge of operations and other experienced detectives from the Command.

Ikenga, a superintendent of police, said that the slain lawyer had earlier secured the bail of an accused person in a pending murder case at High Court II in Ekwulobia.

“Preliminary investigations suggest that the victims were attacked while returning from the court session, having been trailed and double-crossed by the assailants,” he said.

The Command’s spokesperson said apart from the two deceased victims, one other victim survived the attack.

He said the unnamed survivor was currently receiving medical treatment at a hospital.

“The escapee has been debriefed by the police and has provided crucial information that is aiding ongoing investigations and manhunt operations,” he stated.
