Enugu Commissioner, Chidi Aroh escapes death as gunmen kill two police orderly

Enugu State Commissioner for Lands, Chidi Aroh, escaped death on Sunday as gunmen attacked him in Anambra State.

It was gathered that two of his police orderly, David Adabu and one Solomon were killed during the attack.

An unnamed source said the two officers lost their lives when they were ambushed by the gunmen while they were returning from a function in Anambra State.

“The gunmen ambushed their Hilux van in a community in Anambra, shot and killed them but the Commissioner was lucky to have escaped in his jeep,” he said.

The hoodlums the source further said made away with the riffles of the police officers.

Aroh, who confirmed the attack when contacted, thanked God for saving his life.

“We give God all the glory. I thank god for saving my life,” he said

The Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, Toochukwu Ikenga, who said he was on a zoom meeting when contacted, asked our reporter to send a text message if he wanted to confirm anything.

He was yet to confirm the incident at the time of filing this report.
