Dr Kenneth Nwosu, a former
Executive Director, National Root Crops Research Institute
(NRCRI) Umudike, Abia State and currently Abia Commissioner
for Agriculture is dead. He was Wednesday night shot by gunmen. Nwosu
was on his way back to his Olokoro Village home in Umuahia
South Local Council during the time (around 8.05pm) of the
incident at Umuajata/ Amakamma road by Stella Inter-
Communication. Abia State Police Command spokesman, Mr.
Geoffrey Ogbonna who confirmed incident said the victim shot
several times in the stomach with bullets running through his
intestines.
According to police spokesman, Nwosu was overtaken by
gunmen in a Toyota Camry car who opened fire, spraying him
with bullets before fleeing. In Ogbonna’s words , “The gunmen
started shooting at him immediately and bullet touched his
intestines. They continued shooting indiscriminately before
escaping.” Asked whether the assailants were assassins,
kidnappers or robbers, Ogbonna said, “From the look of things it
was obvious they had a hidden agenda as they did not bother to
remove any thing from him or collect his car , but investigations
will unravel their real motive”.
Nwosu was rushed to Abia State Specialist Hospital where
doctors battled to save his life. Dr. Augustus Mbanaso, Chief
Medical Director (CMD) of the hospital told reporters Nwosu
was seriously injured at his intestines and femur. ”His intestines
were shattered and his blood pressure was vey low when they
brought him but we managed him till a level where surgery
could be carried out.” Dr. Mbanaso said. Dr Kenneth Nwosu died this morning. May his soul R.I.P

2015 political killing has started

May his soul rest in peace.
Sad story

I thought the commissioner for agriculture was a John Ukpabi? Reason why I opened this thread with alacrity.

very unfortunate to the love ones. did he chop alone. well, RIP

Who knows why they killed him.Maybe he wanted to contest the 2015 governorship election so his opponents had to silence him.

@OP engrezebuiro, I wonder how u got the news so fast, especially as he just passed on and only family members know. Even the state news still say he's recuperating, I wonder who you are and ur interest in this matter

@idumuose: he had no such ambition, nothing like wanting to be the governor, if u know how abia politics is like, u will advise urself

Rest in peace Uncle.
