Just over 24 hours after the gruesome murder of a member of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Okechukwu Okoye, unknown gunmen on Sunday, killed seven people at three communities in Orumba North and Idemili North Local Government Areas of the state.
Sources told journalists on Sunday evening that the hoodlums stormed the communities in sophisticated weapons and started shooting sporadically.
Four persons were reportedly killed at Isulo in Orumba North LGA.
One person was killed at Nanka also in Orumba North LGA while two persons were felled by the assailants’ bullets at Abatete in Idemili North LGA.
These gunmen also, attacked a police station in Anaku in Ayamelum Local Government Area and set vehicles ablaze.
Efforts made to contact the police spokesman in the state proved futile as he did not pick his calls and was yet to respond to text messages as at the time of filing this report.
