Gunmen suspected to be armed robbers have killed an intern attached to the Dental Therapy Department of Alex Ekwueme Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki.
The deceased who is identified as Dental Therapist Kelvin Onuchie was shot dead in front of the entrance gate of his residence at Mberi Street, Abakaliki, Wednesday night.
It was gathered that he was outside the gate making calls at about 8 p.m. when gunmen shot at him before fleeing the area.
A source told our Correspondent, “He came back from midweek service and was making a call outside his gate at Corpers’ lodge where he stays and was shot by unknown gunmen.”
The gunmen, according to the source, were suspected to have finished the operation/robbery somewhere in the area and were fleeing, only to see Mr. Kelvin Onuchie, making calls outside, which they apparently perceived as a threat, and consequently shot him.
The deceased hailed from Akumazi Umuocha at Ika North East LGA in Delta State, according to the source.
The Ebonyi State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Onome Onovwakpoyeya, in a chat with our correspondent on Thursday, said she was yet to receive such a report.
She said the police would only know about such an incident if there was an official report to them.
Details can only be got if it were reported to the police. And I do not have such a Report at hand,” the Police spokesman told our correspondent
