The attack occurred less than 24 hours after a former Commissioner in the State and one-time chairman of Oji-River local government area, Chief Gabriel Onuzulike, and his older brother were killed at their Nkpokolo-Achi hometown by ungunmen.

 

Meanwhile, Enugu State Police Command has disclosed that following a distress call on the Oji-River incident, two assailants were intercepted and neutralised by a joint Police/Army team.

 

This was disclosed by Daniel Ndukwe, the State Police Command’s spokesman.

 

He said the team recovered an AK-47 rifle with two magazines loaded with ammunition, a Toyota Land Cruiser Jeep belonging to the deceased victims, a Toyota Camry car and a RAV4 Jeep.

 

Part of his statement reads: “Pending the receipt of a detailed report, kindly be informed that preliminary report reveals that two (2) of the assailants, said to have infiltrated into Oji-River from neighbouring Anambra State community, in the evening hours of 18/11/2022, that attacked and murdered one Gabriel Onuzulike (identified as former Chairman of Oji-River LGA and Commissioner in Enugu State Government) and his brother at Nkpokolo-Achi in Oji-River LGA, were neutralized by a Joint Police/Army Team, who swiftly responded to a distress call on the incident and intercepted the hoodlums at Inyi community of the same LGA, as they were escaping into Anambra State.”
