The Commissioner of Police in Abia State, CP Danladi Isa, has confirmed the deaths of Zenith Bank staff member Victor Udensi and two other individuals in a tragic incident in Umuahia on Monday.
According to CP Isa, Udensi was on his way home when three armed assailants, riding in a tricycle (Keke), attempted to abduct him near Isi Court in the Olokoro area.
He said Udensi resisted, and as he tried to escape, the attackers shot him in the back, fatally injuring him.
According to the police chief, the assailants then targeted another driver who also resisted, leading to his immediate death.
He said while fleeing, the attackers encountered another Keke obstructing their path and fatally shot its driver as well.
CP Isa said the police have launched a manhunt for the suspects, and reassured the public that efforts are underway to bring the perpetrators to justice.
