A Civil Engineer identified as Okwudili Kingsley Ugah has been shot and killed by suspected assassins in Enugu.
Spokesperson for the Enugu State Police Command, Daniel Ndukwe, who confirmed the incident said the police have commenced investigation in order to arrest the perpetrators of the crime.
Ugah who hailed from Imezi-Owa in Ezeagu local government area of Enugu State, was shot dead about two poles to his residence in the Trans Ekulu area of the state capital.
The incident reportedly happened around 8 p.m. on Thursday near the Sani Abacha roundabout, Phase-6, Trans Ekulu.
According to reports, the deceased was allegedly trailed by his assailants who first shot at his tyres. They later rained bullets on him and sped off as he laid in a pool of his blood.
