This is so very sad!
Five persons including a bride and groom billed to wed yesterday, at the St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Trans Ekulu, Enugu were shot dead by rampaging robbers on Friday night.The gunmen who robbed Genuine Petrol Station in the Trans Ekulu area of the capital city killed the Manager of the fuel station.
The groom, identified as Uzochukwu Eze in company with his bride stopped to buy fuel on their way to drop a woman who brought a gift to the couple ahead of the ceremony.
The woman who was seated in front of the car with the bridegroom was also shot dead by the trigger-happy robbers.
As the robbers were escaping through NOWAS/ Nike Lake Road, they also shot and killed a police orderly attached to the wife of the Chairman of Nkanu West Local Government Area.
The police orderly was said to have alighted from the vehicle to help ease traffic, which was building up at the Timber Market end of the road when the robbers disarmed and rained bullets on him.
Reacting to the incident, the Enugu state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Ebere Amaraizu said: “Robbers were not really on the rampage, but there was an incident, which allegedly brought about the death of some people by suspected hoodlums who shot sporadically before the arrival of security operatives.”
He said measures were on ground to unmask the hoodlums.culled

FYI she said "these robbers will not allow somebody rest, what is this". Just so you know, she used a dialect synonymous with Owerri indigenes.

ReplyDeleteSmall Mrs
Stella dear.. to start with only 4 people excluding his wife were killed. They weren't robbers. He was an alleged cultist and was traced to the filling station, unfortunately, a bystander, petrol station manager, a customer and the groom were killed. I was inside my room when I heard the gun shots which were shot in quick succession. This is the 3rd time in recent weeks that gun shots have made us run for safety. The good roads in Enugu State may contribute to the culprits not being caught becos na so so express full Enugu..
ReplyDeletePlease shut up Uzo was my neighbour Uzo was never a cultist Uzo was even in seminary school and Bcuz of the fact that he stammers he lost confident and decided to drop his dreams of becoming a priest. He was a senior mass sever in st Mary's. Never a cultist. Not even close! He drove into d robbery the manager has been killed already when he tried to reverse out the female armed robber opened fire. It's the same female armed robber that killed a police officer in nowas stealing his gun.
DeleteHmmm dat guy must hav been a cultist or probably involved in som shady deals. Der is more to ds story dan meets d eye, I hope d police gets t d bottom of it.
