Enugu police to investigate shooting of female baker by unknown gunmen
The Police Command in Enugu says it is investigating the shooting of a female baker in the state, Chinenye Opah, by unknown gunmen.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, Daniel Ndukwe, disclosed this on Tuesday while confirming the incident.
Mr Ndukwe said the incident happened on March 18 at about 14:50 p.m. when yet-to-be identified armed men stormed Ologo quarters close to Coal Camp, Enugu.
“Investigation has since been launched into the case of alleged shooting and murder of a female victim identified as Chinenye Opah, by yet-to-be identified armed men. Further development will be communicated, please,” he said.
An eyewitness, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the armed men, who were masked, stormed the Ologo quarters on two Hilux vehicles.
According to him, immediately they alighted from their vehicles, they started shooting sporadically and in the ensuing confusion shot and killed the baker.
He said that the late Opah was rushed to Enugu State University Teaching Hospital, Parklane, Enugu, where she was confirmed dead after a few hours.
Her corpse had been deposited at the Eastern Nigeria Medical Center, Enugu.
