EKO HOT BLOG reports that a businessman, Isaac Chukwu, was shot and died in the Margaret Umahi International Market in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State capital, only one week before his wedding.
The deceased, popularly known as Ochoudo, meaning ‘peace seeker’, was said to have locked up his shop, after the day’s activities and was heading to his car with his heartthrob, Chioma, when some men accosted them, after firing sporadically in the air.
According to Chioma, the men ordered her fiance to lie down on the floor, an order he hardly completed when they shot at him three times and vamoosed.
