Gunmen Kill Zenith Bank Staff, Two Others In Abia

The Commissioner of Police in Abia State, CP Danladi Isa, confirmed the death of Victor Udensi, a Zenith Bank staff from the Umuahia branch, along with two others in Umuahia on Monday.

The CP, who disclosed this while parading some suspects at the police headquarters in Umuahia, assured the public that the perpetrators would soon be brought to justice.

He explained that Udensi had stopped at the Isi Court Axis of Olokoro in Umuahia South around 8 pm after the day’s work when he was accosted by three armed men operating in a Keke. They attempted to force him into the boot of his car.

However, Udensi resisted, and as he tried to escape, the assailants shot him in the back, leaving him in a pool of blood.The attackers then unsuccessfully tried to start his car and instead accosted another unsuspecting driver in a Camry.

While fleeing towards Ubakala, the gunmen encountered a Keke they felt was obstructing their escape and fatally shot the driver.
An eyewitness reported that passersby rushed Udensi to the hospital, but he was pronounced dead shortly after treatment began.
The CP further stated that the police had launched a manhunt for the assailants.
