There was pandemonium yesterday when gunmen stormed Ogbaku Market in Mbaitoli council of Imo state, killing a commercial motorcyclist.

This was even as the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba Al-Kali, was in the state to commission the 10 Armed Personnel Carriers (APC) procured by Imo state government to tackle insecurity in the state.

A reliable source revealed that on arriving the Ogbuaku Daily Market, the gunmen, who were  operating in an SUV, identified their quarry and  ordered him to enter their vehicle, but he refused.

The source, who did not want his name mentioned, said, “the man they killed is a commercial motorcyclist. They came in a Sienna vehicle from the Oguta 1 Road end; on reaching the market, they identified their target, a commercial motorcyclist called Chima, and ordered him to enter their vehicle.

“But the man refused. They told him three times, but he insisted. They got infuriated and shot him three times and he died on the spot before they drove off. They, also, shot in the air and zoomed off.

Mr Justice Nwafor, who confirmed the killing, said the remains of the victims had been evacuated from the scene.

He also told Daily Sun that the incident had been reported to the Ogbaku Divisional police headquarters and the deceased’s motorcycle taken to the police station.
