On Thursday morning, a shooting spree in Awka, the capital of Anambra State, reportedly claimed several lives.

According to newsmen, this development was confirmed by sources who spoke about the tragedy.

One of the sources, a student, said the shooting happened in Ifite Awka, at approximately 9:15 a.m., leaving several people dead.

Ifite Awka is dominated mostly by students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. The source said the shooting may not be unconnected to cultism.

Last Sunday, no fewer than 12 people were gunned down in a cult-related shooting in Nibo, a town close to Awka.

Another source said Thursday’s shooting happened at Ifite, close to the back gate of Unizik, Awka, not far away from Amansea Road.

One of the sources said, “Gunmen just shot a guy a few minutes ago at Ifite, Awka. He’s lying lifeless.”

Another eyewitness, a lecturer, said she witnessed seven lifeless bodies in the area and was forced to abandon lectures and turn back while en route to school.

It is, however, not clear the actual number of victims involved in the shooting, but the State Police Public Relations Officer, Tochukwu Ikenga, who failed to confirm the incident rather said a police responding team has taken over the scene and further details will be communicated shortly.

In another press statement, Ikenga said the command has intercepted some videos and voice note of persons who planned to unleash violence on Awka.
