“They were pursuing themselves. At around Eke Awka market, the tricycle at the front got stuck in the traffic, and one boy inside it alighted and started running.
“Two boys in the tricycle behind also jumped down and pursued him. He ran towards Parker area along Ziks Avenue, and diverted onto a road by the right, into a mechanic workshop.”
“The boys pursued him into the place, dragged him out and shot him dead. The incident caused pandemonium, and people were just running in all directions. For me, I didn’t even know I could run that fast,” One of the sources reportedly disclosed.
However, State Police Command personnel have denied knowledge of any killings in the incident. When reached, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, spokesperson for the Anambra State Police Command, reportedly told the media that no such information had been presented to the command.
