Peter Mbah Gave Security Agencies 48 Hours To Fish Out Killers Of The Chairperson Of Ogbete Market
Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has given security agencies 48 hours to fish out killers of the chairperson of Ogbete Market Traders’ Association in Enugu State, south-east Nigeria.
Ogbete is the biggest market in Enugu.
This channel earlier reported how the victim, Stephen Aniagu, was shot dead at about 7 p.m. on Saturday at Moses Ogbodo Junction, close to Topland Market in Amaechi Axis, Enugu South Local Government Area of the state.
The victim was said to be driving home when the gunmen flagged down his vehicle and shot him dead.
The police spokesperson in Enugu State, Daniel Ndukwe, in a statement on Sunday, said the gunmen “double-crossed” the victim and shot him dead.
Mr Ndukwe, a deputy superintendent of police, said the gunmen were operating in a Toyota Corolla car but later “made away” with the victim’s blue Toyota car.
The spokesperson said the Commissioner of Police in the state, Kanayo Uzuegbu, has ordered a manhunt for the killers.
Reacting to the killing, Mr Mbah vowed that his administration will not allow the attackers to go unpunished in the state, according to a statement by the governor’s media team.
The governor expressed sadness over the attack and commiserated with the family of the slain man.
