Just In: 3 Abia govt workers were reportedly macheted to death in Aba

A gang of hoodlums dressed in black attire on Friday killed three workers of Abia State Environmental Protection Agency using machetes, near the popular Ariaria International Market, Aba, using machetes, daggers and axes.

Ogbonna said that the police later evacuated the bodies to the mortuary, adding that investigations had commenced.

 

 

 

He said that no arrest had yet been made in connection with the incident.

 

 

 

He appealed to residents of the commercial city with valuable information that could lead to tracking the suspects to assist the police to enable them to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators.
