About 10 persons were said to have died in the convoy of the senator representing Anambra South, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah on Sunday evening attack.

Details gathered by DAILY POST show that some of the deceased persons have been identified.

Though Anambra State Police command had in a phone call with its spokesperson, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga denied knowledge of the exact number of persons killed, sources said about 10 persons died in the attack, which was suspected to be an assassination attempt.

A source said: “Senator Ifeanyi Ubah lost his personal treasurer, Mr Ikechukwu Odum who is his most trusted aide. He also lost his personal assistant, Mr Goodness Mathias.

“Another man killed, who was not in the convoy of the Senator was identified as Onowu Agu-Ukwu Nri. He is said to be a titled chief in neighbouring Nri community, and had just driven to Enugwu-Ukwu to drop someone who visited him, who would be traveling to Lagos this morning, and he was unlucky to be at that point at the time when Senator Ubah was going to be attacked.

“He was driving a big jeep, so the assassins may have thought he was in the same convoy with the senator, and he was gunned down.”

Other people identified to have been killed were six Mobile policemen who were riding in the convoy of the Senator, and a driver, who was said to be driving one of Ubah’s cars.

The attack has been described as an assassination attempt on the senator, as eyewitnesses said the gunmen targeted every car in his convoy, especially his security men, and riddled them with bullets.

“In the confusion yesterday, all the cars were just jamming each other. Since the vehicle the senator was driving in was a bullet proof car, his driver managed to manoeuver out of the damaged cars and drove away, even as it was being shot,” the source narrated.

We igbos love Nnamdi Kanu.

He was sent by Abiama to come rescue umu Chineke. He is our god.

And by our creation, we don't take responsibility for anything done by us.

We therefore blame Tinubu, Buhari, fulani herdsmen and dss for this.

This story no clear

Talk about those who accuse others of hate.

This story is becoming somehow, from the posts I read from punch,vanguard and now this, e be like salt and pepper don de enter inside.

Very sad.

We are fighting and treating ourselves badly in the country more than the British ever did.

Imagine 10 human beings just wasted like that because of one man. I have come to noticed that when these politicians are being attacked, it’s always their aides and security details that gets killed while these politicians somehow escape from the scene unhurt. It might have a political undertone, maybe from his opponents. RIP to those men that lost their lives. I really feel bad for the police men. These men are breadwinners of their families.

These fine fathers were just wasted just like that by these untrained, blood thirsty and gullible men. The onus of it is that those killed are all Igbo and I wonder who these people are fighting for. You said some set of people are your enemies and instead of you to located them and whatever u like, u start killing the people you claim you are fighting for. Is this not craziness. If you are still supporting these people, just know today that life is turn by turn. It may be Ur turn tomorrow.

The weird thing is that, this keeps happening everywhere in Nigeria, but once it's in the South East, everybody screams IPOB.

If the shooting at the Catholic Church at Owo happened in the SE or the regular kidnappings going on at Abuja/Kaduna highway, or even the ones going on at the presidents home town in Katsina was in the SE, everybody will scream IPOB.

The truth is that the security situation generally in the country has so much deteriorated and the president doesn't even care.

Rip

Very tragic.

May their soul rest in peace and may their killers know no peace till death.
The government needs to act up before these unscrupulous elements in disguise of unknown guns take their mad activities to another level. The question I keep asking every day is; what is not known

This looks like a premeditated target failed assassination. Now people had to go for it
Justice must prevail.

Sacrifices

May they affected families take heart
