One killed as gunmen attack federal lawmaker convoy – Report

Gunmen on Sunday night attacked the convoy of Ginger Obinna Onwusibe, lawmaker representing Isiala Ngwa North and South Federal Constituency.

 

The attack occurred around 9 PM, leaving one police officer dead and another injured.

 

The assailants, disguised in black outfits and police-style armour, intercepted the convoy with a Toyota Corolla.
