Four siblings, two others killed as gunmen strike in Anambra

Gunmen have reportedly killed four persons including two brothers in the early hours of Monday in different parts of Anambra State.

The two brothers, who were identified as Godwin Ikechukwu Modobi and Nnajiofor Modobi were killed in Umuhu village in Ukpor, Nnewi South Local Government Area of the state.

According to PUNCH, a source close to the family revealed that Godwin was a direct younger brother to Nnajiofor, and was also a former youth leader in the community.

While the two others were murdered along the Udorji Road, beside St. Mary’s Church, Ozubulu, in Ekwusigo LGA.

The source further revealed that the gunmen first killed Nnajiofor right in their house, after which they blindfolded and abducted the younger brother, whom they also eventually killed close to Utuh Junction and dumped his corpse at the centre of the road.

A trending video from the scenes of the incident, fired bullets were seen close to the corpse, lying in a pool of blood, with bullet wounds on his chest and other parts of the body.

The incident is happening less than four days after a similar attack was carried out at a beer parlour in Osumenyi, where five persons were killed.
