FORMER Enugu State High Court Judge, Justice Stanley Nnaji, has been reportedly assassinated by unknown gunmen in Enugu.
He was said to have been trailed and shot dead on Sunday evening in his Mercedes Benz jeep.
This killing comes barely 24 hours after the gruesome murder of former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Ahmed Gulak, in Owerri, Imo state.
The Enugu State Police Command confirmed the latest incident in a statement but could not identify the victim as Justice Stanley Nnaji.
The statement was titled, ‘Murder of an unidentified man: CP orders full-scale manhunt of assailants, says they must be fished out and brought to book’.
The Command said, “The Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Command, CP Mohammed Aliyu, has ordered the launch of a full-scale manhunt for yet-to-be-identified armed assailants, alleged to have trailed and shot dead an unidentified man driving in a Mercedes Benz Jeep, which they carted away, along Ebeano Tunnel, Enugu, on Sunday, 30/05/2021 at about 1700hrs.
“The victim, whose true identity has yet to be known, was rushed to the hospital, where he was confirmed dead by doctors on duty and deposited in the mortuary for autopsy.”
