Some gunmen on Sunday attacked the convoy of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah in Enugwu-Ukwu community in the Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, killing three of his police escorts.
An eye witness explained that Senator Ubah, who is representing Anambra South senatorial zone, was reportedly injured in the attack in which some people described as an assassination attempt on the Young Peoples Party, YPP, senator.
“Ifeanyi Ubah’s convoy came under attack in Enugwu Ukwu this evening. He was ambushed by heavily armed men who opened fire on his convoy. Some of his aides were killed, including some police officers.
“The senator managed to escape as his car was riddled with bullets.
“I was driving up to that spot from the link road to the express when some people in a shop shouted at me and asked me to turn back and take another road, which I did,” the eyewitness said.
However, the state police command is yet to react to the attack.
