JUST IN: Again, unknown gunmen attack PDP candidate, kill driver in Enugu

Gunmen on Wednesday attacked the campaign convoy of the Peoples Democratic Party candidate for Enugu North/South Federal Constituency, Oforchukwu Egbo.

It was gathered that the incident happened at Eke-Otu in Amechi Awkunanaw, Enugu South Local Government Area of the state.

The hoodlums killed the driver of one of the buses in the convoy.

His body, according to reports, was burnt with the vehicle.

It will be recalled that some gunmen had also attacked and killed the Labour Party senatorial candidate for Enugu East senatorial district, Mr Oyibo Chukwu, with five of his supporters in Amechi on Wednesday evening.

All efforts to speak with the State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, proved abortive as he could not be reached on telephone as at the time of filing this report.
