Barely A Week After Ozubulu Killing, Another Set Of Gunmen Kill Two In Anambra Church
Barely a week after the heinous attack on St Philip Catholic Church Ozubulu Anambra state, which left over 20 feared dead, another set of armed men on Sunday killed two persons at Assemblies of God Church.
BigPen Online learnt that this time, the gunmen who allegedly dressed as masquerades, killed a police guard at the church located at the Oguta area of Onitsha, the commercial nerve centre of the state and a motorcyclist popularly known as Okada rider.
Reports says the police officer that was stationed at the church was shot dead by the armed men who also took away his service rifle.
He was said to be the only armed officer among his colleagues.
The unlucky Okada rider, it was learnt, who was close by when the attack took place, was also gunned down by the masked gunmen who report says were dressed as masquerades.
The spokesperson of the Anambra State Police Command, Nkiru Nwode, however, said the attack was on policemen who were on foot patrol along Oguta Road in Onitsha.
Nwode said the attackers were hoodlums who disguised themselves as masquerades to dispossess innocent citizens of their belongings and in the process killed a policeman and injured some others.
