Unknown gunmen have reportedly killed Barr. Victor Onwubiko, an Imo-based legal practitioner resident in Uturu in Abia state.<\/p>\n
The incident, according to a source, happened on Saturday night while the lawyer was returning to Abia State University, Uturu where he resides.<\/p>\n
The source informed that a notable kidnapping incident took place along Okigwe\/Uturu road around 8 to 9PM on Saturday.<\/p>\n
It said, “The lawyer killed by the gunmen was identified as Barr. Victor Onwubiko. He is based in\u00a0 Okigwe Town in Imo state but also resident in Abia state University Uturu.<\/p>\n
“He was returning to Abia state where he also resides when he was ambushed by gunmen and killed along Okigwe\/Uturu road.<\/p>\n
“There have been series of kidnappings and killings along the road irrespective of the heavy security agents in the area,” the source added.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, efforts to contact the Imo police command through the Spokesman, Henry Okoye, proved abortive as his phones were unreachable as at the time of filing this report.<\/p>\n
