Gunmen on Wednesday attacked the convoy of Chris Ngige, former governor of Anambra and ex-minister of labour and employment, along the Nkpor–Nnobi road, Idemili North LGA.

Gong-news understands that the former minister was not in the convoy when the incident happened.

According to reports, the gunmen were dressed in police and army uniforms and shot a lady recording the attack.

A shop owner who raced to inquire what was happening was also shot, alongside a policeman in the pilot car, while his uniform and gun were reportedly taken away by the assailants.

Witnesses said the pilot car was riddled with bullets but noted that the police officer and two others who were shot did not die.

Ikenga Tochukwu, police spokesperson in Anambra, who confirmed the incident on Thursday, said operatives recovered a white Mercedes-Benz SUV the gunmen snatched during the attack.

“The recovered vehicle has been secured and taken into police custody for further investigation, while the operatives have stepped up a coordinated statewide manhunt for the fleeing armed hoodlums,” the statement reads.

Tochukwu said further developments would be communicated.

Ngige was once abducted as governor in the first year of his tenure. He was governor between 2003 and 2006.

Soldiers raid UNIOSUN hostels, students allege assault and seizure of phones

Military personnel from the Army Depot in Osogbo have been accused of invading student hostels at the University of Osun (UNIOSUN), allegedly assaulting students and confiscating dozens of mobile phones.   According to TheCable, the incident occurred on Monday night and affected several off-campus hostels near the university. Speaking during a visit to the affected hostels on Tuesday, Vice-Chancellor Clement Adeboye said the university had formally reported the incident to the management of the Army Depot. “We have reported to the management of the depot. It is sad that the Army Depot, located close to the campus, which we felt would give us security cover, could eventually release men that will subject our students to this kind of harrowing experience,” he said. UNIOSUN spokesperson Ademola Adesoji alleged that more than 20 students had been identified as victims of the operation. He claimed some female students reported being stripped and indecently touched by the soldiers, while several male students were also assaulted. Adesoji said two students were hospitalised following the incident, with one discharged on Tuesday morning. He further alleged that the soldiers seized more than 60 devices, including mobile phones, from the students. “Over 60 gadgets, including phones, were seized from the students. Five of the perpetrators were identified and brought to the campus this morning,” Adesoji told TheCable. “But they were later returned to the military base. The army division said they would be dismissed. “The VC has taken the matter up with the army authority. We can’t confirm the alleged rape yet.” There has been no official response from the Nigerian Army at the time of filing this report.
