Obumneme, a son of the murdered Dr. Chike Akunyili has
described how his father was killed by the yet-to-be-identified persons.
The medical doctor and widower of a late Minister of
Information, Dora Akunyili, was killed on Monday evening when he was returning
from a commemorative lecture in honour of his late wife, Dora.
The Police Command in Anambra State, where the incident happened,
has vowed to unravel the brains behind the murder.
Speaking with the BBC Igbo, Obumneme said that his dad was
shot in the face by gunmen who opened fire on his vehicle at Nkpor, Anambra
State.
“His driver and a Police officer assigned to him also died
in the shooting. A cousin survived and is being treated in hospital,” Obumneme
added.
They were driving back from the town of Nsukka in Enugu
state after attending a lecture hosted by the University of Nigeria to pay
tribute to the late NAFDAC DG, Dora.
