The President General of Obosi Community in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State, Hon Ike Okolo has been reportedly shot dead.
Okolo was said to have been shot dead in a petrol station in the community by yet to be identified gunmen at about 8pm, a day after the new year.
A video circulating on the internet showed that the community leader was shot right inside his SUV, as he sat in a pool of his own blood, behind the steering of the car.
Obosi is one town that is known to be notorious for cult related clashes, a development the President General is said to have stood against, since he ascended to office.
As at the time of filing this report, it was not clear who his killers were.
A message to the state police command’s spokesperson, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga was yet to be replied too.
