An unspecified number of police operatives have been killed at Enugwu-Ukwu community in Njikoka Local Government Area, Anambra State, as unidentified gunmen attacked the convoy of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.
Sources said the gunmen opened fire on the convoy, and police operatives in convoy responded.
The source said the gunmen may have been after the senator, but there is no evidence to prove this.
Alex Ozone, a social media user said, “Senator Ifeanyi Ubah’s convoy attacked at Enugu-Ukwu.
“He was ambushed by heavily armed assassins who opened fire on his convoy.
“Some of his aides were killed including some police officers.
“The senator managed to escape as his car was riddled with bullets.”
But another source, who begged not to be named told Daily Post that six policemen were killed in the attack.
THE WHISPERER could not reach Senator Ubah for confirmation as his line remained busy.
The spokesperson of the state police command, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga, confirmed to Daily Post that there was an attack on men of the command at Enugwu-Ukwu, but insisted that the casualty figure remained unknown.
He said: “Yes, there was an attack at Enugwu-Ukwu today, but the casualty figure is not clear. As I speak to you, the CP has personally led a team of men to the scene, and normalcy has been restored.”
He promised to brief journalists on the findings of the command.
