The incident reportedly left a man repairing a vehicle parked along the road with a suspected gunshot injury and resulted in damage to the windscreens of five parked vehicles.

The Command’s spokesman, Daniel Ndukwe, who disclosed this in a statement yesterday, said: “Upon receiving a distress report, Police operatives promptly moved to the scene, restored normalcy and rushed the injured victim to a hospital, where he is receiving treatment and is reported to be in stable condition. “The CP has directed the State CID to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.”

According to Ndukwe, “In a separate incident at about 11:30 a.m. on the same day, joint Police and military operatives dispersed suspected NDC members who gathered in a disorderly manner at the entrance to Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu. “Preliminary findings indicate that airport authorities restricted the party members from entering the airport in large numbers to receive their governorship candidate.”
