Tragedy struck in Anambra State as unidentified gunmen murdered a lawyer and his client shortly after a court session near Agulu-Nanka boundary.
Eyewitnesses reported that the assailants, riding a motorcycle, ambushed the victims along the Amawbia-Agulu-Nanka-Ekwulobia-Uga-Akokwa road. "They shot the lawyer first, then chased and killed his fleeing client," a local revealed.
Anambra Police Spokesman SP Tochukwu Ikenga confirmed the incident, stating that Commissioner of Police Ikioye Orutugu visited the crime scene and ordered a full investigation.
"The lawyer had just secured bail for his client in a murder case at High Court II, Ekwulobia," Ikenga said. "We recovered a red Toyota Camry and are tracking the killers."
A survivor is assisting police with crucial leads as authorities intensify efforts to apprehend the perpetrators.
