Some persons have been reportedly shot by gunmen who invaded a nightclub in Anambra State.
It was gathered that the unfortunate incident occurred within the premises of Porsche Nightclub located in Oba, by New Road, Idemili North Local Government Area of the state.
No details had emerged about those who carried out the dastardly act.
However, a source said the attacks which occured on Sunday night, were executed by some unknown gunmen who stormed the club to kidnap its owner.
According to the source, security men attached to the club had resisted the gun-wielding men, who later opened fire on everyone they sighted.
The source who did not want to be named said, “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.”
Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports indicated that those killed were more than ten.
Spokesperson for Anambra State Police Command, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, could not confirm the incident.
He promised to make an enquiry and get back to journalists.
Recall that another nightclub owner and popular witch doctor, Akwa Okuko, had been attacked months back 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 his freedom.
