Intending Couple Shot Dead On The Eve Of Their Wedding by simplemyk: 1:32pm On Sep 07, 2014
A man and woman set to be joined in holy matrimony in Enugu were,
yesterday, shot dead by gunmen
suspected to be cult members. Three other persons including the
manager of a filling station were shot dead during the sporadic shooting by the unknown assailants who had laid siege on Abakpa and Trans-Ekulu area of Enugu, according to report from Vanguard.
The incident occurred Friday night at a filling station close to Dhamija Bridge opposite Our Lord’s Chosen Church, Trans-Ekulu on the Enugu – Onitsha Expressway.

It was gathered that the
gunmen trailed the couple, who were finalizing arrangements for their wedding yesterday, to the filling station where they were said to be buying fuel. The gunmen were said to have, on arrival at the station, shot sporadically at the bride and groom who were in their car buying fuel and they reportedly died on the spot. The manager of the filling station, a pump attendant and another person buying fuel at the time were also shot dead by the gunmen who immediately
thereafter fled in their waiting vehicle.

Enugu State Police Public Relations
Officer, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, confirmed the incident when contacted yesterday.
“There was an incident that led to the death of some people following sporadic shooting by suspected
hoodlums before the arrival of
security operatives and we have put measures on ground to unmask
them,” he said.

For sure this must be done to settle a score. Either the of the couple must have disappointed someone.

RIP.
