From Chijioke Agwu, Abakaliki
Gunmen, last week, invaded Galaxy Hotel in Isu community in Onicha Local Government Area of Ebonyi State and killed three people.
A resident of the community, Igwe Nwaokorie, told journalists in Abakaliki that among the three people killed were the owner of the hotel, Chief Ogbonnaya Nwadibia, also known as “Galaxy” and two others.
“The incident occurred on the night of Thursday, August 25. The suspects came on motorcycles with arms, about three of them, and entered the hotel. Before we could know what was happening, we started hearing gunshots which lasted for some minutes, after which they left and three people were found dead, including the owner of the hotel,” he explained.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, Chris Anyanwu, a Superintendent of Police, confirmed the incident.
He, however, said the state police command was yet to have the full details of the incident.
“Yes, the command has heard about the incident, but we have not got the full details of what really happened,” Anyanwu stated.
