The killers, who came on motorcycles and vehicles, fled after hitting their target.
“He was such a good man. He has helped to curb the incessant insecurity situations we have been experiencing in our community. It’s a pity he is gone,” a source said.
Confirming the incident to this newspaper, the police Public Relations Officer (PRO) in Imo state, Micheal Abatam, said security agents are on the trail of the killers.
