Five person have been killed by gunmen who invaded a ‘beer parlour’ in Obiofia village in Osumenyi, in the Nnewi-South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
According to PUNCH, an eyewitness said that the incident happened at the Ụtọ Ndụ Beer drinking joint at about 8:00pm on Friday when the unidentified gunmen opened fire on the customers who were drinking and having fun.
About five of them, including the owner of the restaurant, identified as Ụtọ Ndụ, were said to have been killed.
Viral videos from the scene of the incident also showed that four of the victims were males, while one (the owner of the shop), a female, each lying lifeless in the pool of their own blood.
The corpses were loaded in a Sienna ambulance bus, for evacuation to a mortuary as sympathisers, friends and relatives of the victims were captured mourning and lamenting.
A weeping feminine voice was also heard in the background lamenting (in Igbo language): “What have we done oooo? Who have we offended? What did we do to deserve all these?”
The State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, is yet to confirm the attack as of the time of filing this report.
