He explained that Udensi had stopped at the Isi Court Axis of Olokoro in Umuahia South around 8 pm after the day’s work when he was accosted by three armed men operating in a Keke. They attempted to force him into the boot of his car.

However, Udensi resisted, and as he tried to escape, the assailants shot him in the back, leaving him in a pool of blood.

“When they attempted to forcefully take his car key, the driver resisted.

The armed men, however, shot him, killing him instantly,” Isa said.

While fleeing towards Ubakala, the gunmen encountered a Keke they felt was obstructing their escape and fatally shot the driver.

An eyewitness reported that passersby rushed Udensi to the hospital, but he was pronounced dead shortly after treatment began.

The CP further stated that the police had launched a manhunt for the assailants.
