A corps member, Julius Oghoroko, who was serving with a government organization in Anambra State today, had narrowly escaped death after being shot by unknown gunmen.
Sources told SaharaReporters that the Delta State born Corps member was returning from a function with his friend when he was shot. He was mistakenly identified for a cult member by a rival group and was shot at point blank range. The assailants fled, sources say.
It was a messy crime scene. Blood gushed out of his body before he was immediately rushed to the Anambra State Teaching Hospital, in Amaku. It is there where the wounded man was given emergency treatment, with a team of doctors feverishly working to save his life.
Confirming the incident to SaharaReporters through several phone calls, the Anambra State Command of the Nigeria Police said an investigation into the case is underway.
The Command, through his spokesman, Emeka Chukwuemeka, disclosed that surveillance had been ‘beefed-up’ around Umunya, in Oyi local government area of the state, where a source said the incident occurred.
Chukwuemeka said no suspect
