Enugu State Police Command on Monday said that it had commenced a manhunt for the killers of former Enugu State High Court Judge, Justice Stanley Nnaji.
Justice Nnaji was reportedly murdered by unknown gunmen suspected to be assassins on Sunday evening.
In a statement signed by the police spokesman, Daniel Ndukwe, the command said that no stone would be left unturned in order to fish out perpetrators of the heinous crime.
The statement reads, “The Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Command, CP Mohammed Aliyu, has ordered the launch of a full-scale manhunt for yet-to-be-identified armed assailants, alleged to have trailed and shot dead an unidentified man driving in a Mercedes Benz Jeep, which they carted away, along with Ebeano Tunnel, Enugu, on Sunday, 30/05/2021 at about 1700hrs.
“The victim, whose true identity is yet to be known, was rushed to the hospital, where he was confirmed dead by doctors on duty and deposited in the mortuary for autopsy.”
The PPRO, however, appealed to residents of the state to remain law-abiding, vigilant and assist the police with useful information that would lead to the arrest and prosecution of the assailants.
