CityNews understands that the attack occurred around 7:30 a.m. in the Ebem-Asaga area.
Details of the incident remain unclear, but eyewitnesses disclosed to The Sun that residents fled the area in panic as the gunmen wreaked havoc. The once-bustling community is now largely deserted as fear grips locals.
This tragic event comes just two days after another violent attack claimed the life of a police officer.
Two officers assigned to Hon. Ginger Onwusibe, a member of the House of Representatives representing Isiala-Ngwa North/South Constituency, were ambushed on Sunday night in Umuahia.
The attack, which occurred around 8:30 p.m., left one officer dead from multiple gunshot wounds, while another officer and a driver managed to escape.
Attempts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer, Maureen Chinaka, for an official statement are ongoing.
