Unidentified gunmen have reportedly killed two persons said to be members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State. The incident reportedly took place in Mkpuma Akataka Community in Izzi Local Government Area of the State.
It was learnt that the APC meeting was going on late Friday in the community when the gunmen stormed the venue and opened fire. The armed miscreants, who were said to be two in number, reportedly operated with a motorcycle. They were said to have quickly zoomed off having completed their mission.
Two persons were confirmed dead while two others are receiving treatment at the Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki, NewsBits learnt.
Efforts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Chris Anyanwu failed as he did not answer calls put across to him.
