It was a black Sunday in Nnewi yesterday as yet to be identified gunmen attacked and killed some members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and All Progressives Congress (APC) in separate incidents at Nnobi and Nnewi.
An eye witness account at Afor Nnobi said the gunmen waylaid the APGA Party members who were returning from campaign in Awka and opened fire on them, killing three and setting four vehicles ablaze. One of the victims who was lucky to have survived the attack is said to be one Dr. Nelson Omenugha but his vehicle was destroyed.
In a Whatapp post this morning, Dr. Omenuga wrote “Goodmorning dear and please, thank God in every special way for my life. Yesterday evening, I was attacked with my Hilux set ablaze by ‘unknown Gunmen’ at Nnobi. I am keeping safe and please, stay safe. It’s indeed a crazy world”.
Another victim who was not so lucky is Mr. Chukwuemeka Nwokenagu popularly known as EZE B who hails from Okpunoeze Uruagu, Nnewi. He is said to be a ward chairman under APGA and a very popular and influential youth leader in Okpunoeze Uruagu, Nnewi. He was killed in the attack.
