Gunmen have attacked the P & F Filling Station, Nnokwa, in the Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, killing two persons on the spot.
The incident happened on Saturday at the filling station close to the St Mary’s Catholic Church, Nnokwa.
It was gathered that the gunmen shot dead the manager of the station, identified simply as Marvellous, and his friend, identified simply as Richard.
The reason for the attack was still unknown as of the time of filing this report, but an eyewitness said both men went to buy food before they met their death.
“Tears flowed freely at Nnokwa this morning (Saturday) as both men were gunned down by gunmen. The manager of the filling station always sold diesel during the sit-at-home every Monday,” the eyewitness stated.
A video currently circulating on social media showed a man was lying in a pool of his own blood with his head having bullet wounds.
When contacted, the state police spokesman, Ikenga Tochukwu, said he had no information about the incident and promised to make enquiries and get back to our correspondent.
