One of the community leaders, Comrade Osita Obi, told The Nation that since the incident, people had been in a pensive mood. He said the government should support security operatives to unravel the mystery behind the incident. A source said the suspects’ target, Chief Azubuike Ekweozor, narrowly escaped death. His visitor, Rueben Ikwuka, was not lucky, as the hoodlums mistook him for their target and killed him. The source said two of the suspects, who stormed the community in a black Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), were shot dead by the police. An identification card, which bore the logo of Enugu State Transport Company, was recovered from one of the suspects. Police spokesperson Uche Ezeh told The Nation in Awka that the command would not relent until the suspects are arrested. He confirmed that the suspects killed one person while two of them were shot dead by the policemen attached to Ekweozor. Ezeh said two AK-47 rifles were recovered from the deceased, with 19 and 11 live ammunition and an extra 30 live ammunition. Security operatives have taken over the area, but residents are living in fear. two of the mobile phones of the deceased suspects were also recovered, with many people calling the lines.
