Capt. Tony Enoch, a member of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council in Imo State, has been killed by unknown gunmen.
He was killed in Oru East Local Government Area of the State, home-town of the governor.
It was learnt that Enoch was shot around Awomama Technical School in Oru-East, on his way from the APC Stakeholders meeting held at the Oru-East council headquarters.
Enoch, a retired military officer, and also a kinsman of the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, doubled as the Coordinator for the Grow Orlu Project, a political structure of the Senator-elect of the Imo West Senatorial District, Osita Izunaso.
A source in the community said the deceased was ambushed by his assailants, who ordered him to park his car before he was shot dead.
According to the report, he was shot in the head three times and dumped in the trunk of the car, where blood traces were seen under the abandoned car.
Spokesperson for the police in the state, Henry Okoye, said he was yet to be briefed about the incident.
He promised to make inquiries and get back to our correspondent; but at the time of writing, he had not done so.
