Banker and two others killed in Abia

Mr Victor Udensi, an employee of Zenith Bank of Umuahia Branch, and two others were killed in Umuahia on Monday, Abia State Police Commissioner CP Danladi Isa said on Thursday.

The CP, who disclosed this while parading certain suspects at Umuahia Police Station, told the public that the perpetrators would soon be brought to justice.

He explained that Udensi had stopped at the Isi Court Axis of Olokoro in Umuahia South at about 8pm after a long day of work when he was approached by three armed men driving a Keke.

They tried to push him into the trunk of his car.

Udensi, on the other hand, fought back, and as he tried to flee, the attackers shot him in the back, leaving him in a pool of blood.

After a failed attempt to start his vehicle, the attackers confronted another inattentive motorist in a Camry.

“When they tried to take his car key by force, the driver resisted.
However, the armed men shot him, killing him instantly,” Isa said.

While escaping to Ubakala, the gunmen spotted a Keke which they believed was impeding their escape and fatally shot the driver.

According to an eyewitness, passersby rushed Udensi to the hospital, but he died shortly after treatment began.

The CP further added that police had launched a manhunt for the attackers.
