Gunmen struck in a fresh attack in the early hours of Monday, murdered four persons in two different communities in Anambra State.
Two brothers simply identified as Godwin Ikechukwu Modobi and Nnajiofor Modobi, were killed in Umuhu village in Ukpor, Nnewi South Local Government Area of the state.
According to a source close to the family, Godwin was an immediate younger brother to Nnajiofor, and was also a former youth leader in the community.
In a related development, two others were also killed along the Udorji Road, beside St. Mary’s Church, Ozubulu, in Ekwusigo Local Government Area of the State.
The source further disclosed that the gunmen first killed Nnajiofor right in their house, after which they blindfolded and abducted the younger brother, whom they also eventually killed close to Utuh Junction and dumped his corpse at the centre of the road.
A trending video from the scenes of the incident, showed the corpse lying lonely at the centre of the deserted expressway, without a vehicle or pedestrian coming or going through the road.
Efforts by The Punch to get the Public Relations Officer of the state Police Command, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, was to no avail, as message sent to his phone has not been responded to at the time of filing this report.
A similar attack was carried out about four days ago, at a beer parlour in Osumenyi, also in Nnewi south Local Government Area of the State, where five persons were killed.
