A tragedy hit Enugu as suspected cult members shot dead the couple one day before their wedding ceremony was to take place.
According to Vanguard, both spouses-to-be were killed. However famous Nigerian blogger Linda Ikeji reported that only the future husband, identified as Uzochukwu Eze, was murdered. This information is yet to be obtained.
It is believed that the gunmen shot dead 5 people during the incident which occurred at a filling station located near Dhamija Bridge opposite Our Lord’s Chosen Church, Trans-Ekulu on the Enugu – Onitsha Expressway, on Friday, September 5.
Vanguard sources said that the assailants trailed the young man and his fiancee, who were to get married the next day, to the station and were shot before they had got out to buy fuel. The two (or the man) reportedly died on the spot. Other victims were the staff of the filling station, including its manager, and another buyer.
Enugu State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, confirmed the incident on Saturday saying: “There was an incident that led to the death of some people following sporadic shooting by suspected hoodlums before the arrival of security operatives and we have put measures on ground to unmask them.”
