The Enugu State Police Command has launched a manhunt for armed assailants operating within the Ugwogo-Nike/Ikem axis of Enugu-Opi-Nsukka Road within the state.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Command’s Spokesman, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, in Enugu on Saturday.
Ndukwe said: “Manhunt operation is underway to apprehend the armed assailants that shot and murdered one male victim and the driver of a Passat car, identified as Cyril Mbah.
