Unidentified gunmen have killed Dr Chike Akunyili, husband of late former Director General of NAFDAC and minister for information, Prof Dora Akunyili.

Akunyili, a medical doctor was killed on Tuesday on his way from Onitsha to Umuoji at Eke Nkpor. He was said to have been killed alongside his driver and police escort.

DAILY POST gathered that Akunyili had on Tuesday attended a lecture at Sharon Hall, All Saints Cathedral, Onitsha, which was organized by the University of Nigeria Nsukka Alumni Association (UNAA), Onitsha branch, in honour of his late wife, Prof Dora Akunyili.

The source said: “He spoke glowingly about Dora his wife, and made a donation of N500,000 to the association.

“He was there with his son, Obum who now works with Anambra State government. We saw them off to the car and it was emotional when Obum hugged him (Chike) tight as both of them separated to join their respective vehicles.

“Obum was in a white Hilux while the man was in a Prado Jeep. He must have been killed when returning from the function.”

Though attempt to get confirmation from the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga was not successful, sources in the victims community, Agulu have confirmed the incident.

A member of his community said: “He lost his life at Nkpor Junction, Idemili North Anambra State Tuesday 28/9/2021 when he came to Anambra to Receive Award for the Late Amazon, Prof Dora Akunyili.”

“Agbalanze (his traditional title) was killed by Unknown Gunmen. May the Lord console Akunyili family and Ndi Agulu in general,” the source said.

ThankUJesus:

AuroraB:
You got any reason to back up this accusation?

valentineuwakwe:
Why the conflicting reports on where he was killed. .some say onitsha, others say Abuja. ..until I see the details, i reserve my comments!

God punish Buhari. In seeking for a solution, Nigeria found a huge problem.

alsudan:
The cartel that got rid of Dora just had to go after her husband years later.

Naija is not worth dying for, know that and know peace.

RIP to Dr. Chike Akunyili. Won’t be surprised if the evil Nigerian government hang this on IPOB.

yes oo.. Abaribe was once a surety to that hunchback albino porn star called Nnamdi Kanu
and Chidoka was at the forefront of Biafra separatist after swindle the FRSC from no where.

loveth360:

All to make us hate ipob but we are wise.

loveth360:

[[s]quote author=dallasi post=106272780]To IPOB & IT FOLLOWERS
When war starts, first of all, you won't have internet to post or comment.

You won't be able to withdraw your money from the Bank, or even buy and sell.

Shops, market, hospitals, transport, petrol stations, power companies, will all be closed.
You will soon be left in darkness with no food, light or even water.

People will loot, kill, destroy, rape, kidnap and there won't be law enforcement agents to be called upon. The few law enforcement agents will be protecting the politicians and important facilities.

You won't even know where your brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers and children are.

You will soon go hungry and you gradually die without even been hit by a bullet.

[s]And you will be enjoying in your region?

This time it will teach you people more.


So carry your threat of war comot,it doesn't frighten us[/s].
