The former Governor of Anambra State, Chris Ngige, had his convoy attacked today on the Nkpor–Nnobi Road in the Idemili North Local Government Area.
According to a statement from Ngige’s former media aide, Sir Fred Chukwuelobe, the former governor was not present in the convoy at the time of the assault.
During the attack, a policeman in the lead vehicle was shot, and both his firearm and uniform were taken by the suspected attackers, who were allegedly dressed in police and military attire.
Unfortunately, a woman who was filming the incident on her phone was shot and killed by the assailants.
A shop owner who rushed to the scene to see what was happening was also shot; he lost a considerable amount of blood but is expected to undergo surgery shortly to remove the bullets.
He is reported to be in stable condition and is anticipated to make a full recovery. The lead vehicle was heavily damaged with bullet holes.
No police officers were killed in the incident. The escort leader who was shot has already undergone surgery and is expected to recover completely. The shop owner was fortunate, as none of the bullets struck his spine.
