Gunmen Kill Nigerian Actor, Osita Iheme’s Brother, Injure Imo State Commissioner During Purported Sit-at-home
Gunmen purportedly enforcing a botched sit-at-home order on Friday afternoon attacked parts of Owerri, Mbaitoli and environs in Imo State.
The gunmen struck at different locations and killed a policeman, Prince Iheme, who is elder brother to Nollywood superstar, Osita Iheme popularly known as Pawpaw.
The gunmen who rode in Trundra operational vehicles shot indiscriminately forcing people to scamper for safety.
While businesses abruptly closed, the roads were deserted as motorists abandoned their vehicles and ran away.
At Ubommiri in the Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State, the gunmen attacked the convoy of the All Progressives Congress candidate for Mbaitoli/ Ikeduru Federal Constituency, Akarachi Amadi.
While Prince Iheme was killed on the spot, the state commissioner for Solid Minerals, Martin Eke, was cut with a machete.
An eyewitness who didn’t want to be mentioned said, “This attack is politically motivated. We just finished at one campaign rally ground and were heading to Ubommiri. Our convoy was attacked at Amawuihe before Ubommiri.
“Prince Iheme was riding in the same vehicle with the Commissioner for Solid Minerals. Prince Iheme who is Pawpaw’s elder brother was killed on the spot. The commissioner who was sworn in two weeks ago was cut badly. He has just been rushed to a hospital. They were driving in a Ford SUV. I pray he makes it.
”The police spokesman for the command, Micheal Abattam, had yet to respond to an inquiry concerning the incidents.
