Unidentified armed men have killed three persons at Isu community in Onicha Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
According to a resident, Mr. Igwe Nwaokorie, the gunmen attacked an hotel known as Galaxy in the community at the weekend, killing its owner, Chief Ogbonnaya Nwadibia, and two other unidentified persons suspected to be guests in the hotel.
Nwaokorie, who spoke with journalists on Sunday in Abakaliki, said: “The incident occurred on the night of Friday, August 25. Three armed men came on two motorcycles and entered the hotel.
“Before we could know what was happening, we started hearing gun shots that lasted for some minutes. After they left, three persons were found dead, including the owner of the hotel.”
Meanwhile, the spokesman, Chris Anyanwu, for the Ebonyi State Police Command, confirmed the incident but said he was yet to be briefed.
He said:“Yes, we (police) have heard about the incident but we have not gotten the full detail of what really happened.”
