The convoy of former governor of Anambra State, Dr. Chris Ngige, w attacked by gunmen along Nkpor-Nnobi Road, Idemili North local government area of the state on Wednesday.
Ngige’s former aide, Mr. Fred Chukwuelobe, made this known in a post on his Facebook wall.
He said the former governor was not in the convoy as at the time of the attack.
A policeman in the pilot car, he said, was shot and his gun and uniform taken away.
The gunmen were said to be in police and army uniforms.
A lady who was said to be recording the shooting was shot dead by the gunmen.
“A shop owner who raced to find out what was happening was also shot, but he only lost a lot of blood and will be operated upon soon to remove the bullets.
“He is expected to make full recovery. The pilot car was riddled with bullets,” said Chukwuelobe.
He added that no policeman was killed and the escort leader who was shot had been operated upon and was expected to make full recovery.
The shop owner was said to be lucky as the bullets didn’t lodge in his spine.
“I just got off the phone with His Excellency and he confirmed the development, promising to do all he can to ensure that those injured receive adequate treatment. He also commiserated with the family of the unfortunate lady who was killed while videoing the scene,” Chukwuelobe added.
