Nigeria Police Force (NPF) is investigating the alleged shooting of the governorship candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) for the upcoming Anambra State election, Chief Jude Ezenwafor.
Ezenwafor reportedly told journalists on Saturday morning that he suffered a near-death situation when gunmen accosted him around Wuse 2 on Friday night on his way home after an appointment.
“I’m currently in the hospital. The doctors are making efforts to operate on me so that they can pull out bullets from my body,” he had said in the report.
However, the FCT police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, said the investigation is still ongoing as the police lacked the necessary information about the incident.
The police also called on all affected parties, who may have information that would help in the investigation, to come forward.
Adeh said, “The police command has yet to conclude investigations into the true position and situation surrounding the incident. While the investigation is currently in high gear, individuals or persons with relevant information are advised to come forward and report to the nearest police station.
“Your cooperation will greatly assist our investigation and help ensure justice is served.”
