On Wednesday, 31st March, 2021, Unknown gunmen invaded Isuofia Town Hall, in Aguata local government area of Anambra state where Professor Chukwuma Soludo, former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and a gubernatorial aspirant under the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) was holding a meeting with Isuofia youths.
A source at the scene who is a member of All Soludo Support Group told Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS), that Prof. Soludo, who was at the venue when the gunmen invaded was unhurt.
The source said three mobile policemen were killed on the spot by the gunmen, many injured, and Engineer Emeka Ezenwanne, Anambra State Commissioner for Public Utilities who was also at the venue was abducted by the gunmen.
Anambra Police Command has confirmed the incident, saying investigations are already underway.
No group has claimed responsibility for the horrific action, and it could not be immediately ascertained if the attack was politically motivated, or if it could be linked to past weeks’ actions that have seen unknown gunmen attack and kill security personnel in Anambra state, and in other states in the South East.
The attack has drawn wide condemnation by Ndi Anambra and non-Ndi Anambra, across the major political parties.
