Gunmen allegedly kill many in Anambra nightclub

Unidentified gunmen have reportedly gunned down some persons in a nightclub in Anambra State.

The incident reportedly occurred in Oba, Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State, at Porsche Nightclub.

Though there are no further details of who carried out the attacks on Sunday night, sources said the gunmen came to kidnap the owner of the club but were resisted by security men attached to the club.

“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,” a source said.

DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, the spokesperson for Anambra State Police Command, could not confirm the incident as at the time of filing this report.

Some months ago, another nightclub owner and popular witch doctor, Akwa Okuko, was attacked 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.
