Two unidentified gunmen on Wednesday shot and killed a community leader, Osita Agina, in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area, Anambra State.
It was gathered that the deceased was standing in front of a bar centre, located along the Old Nnewi/Oba road, with a friend when the assassins that arrived on a motorcycle shot him at close range, leading to his death.
An eye witness said: “They were two men in a bike when they shot him and he died on the spot. He thought they were people that parked their bike to come and greet him not knowing that it was to take his life.”
According to a resident of the area, the deceased, who was feared by the community, had been acting as a police informant.
“He drove on SUV vehicle and was assassinated in that vehicle while he was with a friend in front of a garden, Kent Village Garden, situated along the Oba/Nnewi Old road,” he said.
Though the Divisional Police Officer, Oba, Mr Uche, confirmed the incident, he declined further comments urging the reporter to speak to the state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, SP Haruna Mohammed, for more details.
