Scores feared killed as gunmen attack Anambra nightclub

Several persons are believed to have been killed by gunmen in an Anambra nightclub.

According to reports, the incident happened at the Porsche Nightclub in Oba, Idemili North Local Government Area, Anambra State.

Though no more details on who carried out the attacks on Sunday night have been released, a source, Chukwuemeka Ezefunamba, stated that the gunmen attempted to kidnap the club’s owner but were rebuffed by security personnel.

“As a result of the resistance, the gunmen started shooting sporadically, killing many people in the process.

“They also beheaded one of the security men who resisted them from taking the owner of the nightclub,” he said.

Spokesperson for Anambra State Police Command, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, could not confirm the incident.

He promised to make an enquiry and get back to this newspaper.

Recall that another nightclub owner and popular witch doctor, Akwa Okuko, had been attacked months back in the same community.

He later confessed that he surrendered himself to avoid collateral damage that would have happened if he resisted. It was rumoured that he paid over N400 million to regain freedom.
