Gunmen have reportedly murdered Victor Onwubiko, a legal practitioner based in Imo State but resident in Uturu, Abia State.
The incident reportedly occurred on Saturday night while the lawyer was returning to Abia State University, Uturu, where he lived.
Henry Okoye, the Imo State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, said law enforcement agents are “on top of the situation” and that a press statement would be issued soon by the command.
Meanwhile, a source said the tragic event occurred along the Okigwe-Uturu road around 9 pm on Saturday.
“He was returning to Abia State, where he also resides, when he was ambushed by gunmen and killed along the Okigwe-Uturu road. There have been a series of kidnappings and killings along the road, irrespective of the presence of heavy security agents in the area,” the source added.
