It was a black Friday in Anambra State, as Unknown Gunmen attack another beer parlour killing five persons.
Reports said the incident happened at Ụtọ Ndụ Beer Parlour in Obiofia Village, in Osumenyi, Nnewi South Coumcil Area of Anambra State.
Eyewitness who pleaded anonymity said the unidentified gummen invaded the restaurant at about 8.pm in the night and immediately opened fire on customers who were drinking and having fun there.
Five persons were killed including the owner of the restaurant, identified as Ụtọ Ndụ, who hailed from Amichi, a neighbouring to Osumenyi.
Videos from the scene of the incident, which are currently trending on social media also show the that four of the victims were males, while one (the owner of the shop) was a female, all lying lifeless in the pool of their own blood.
Sympathizers, friends and relatives of the victims were also seen mourning and lamenting as the corpses were being loaded in the a Sienna bus suspected to be an ambulance, for evacuation to mortuary.
A weeping feminine voice was also heard in background lamenting (in Igbo language): “What have we done oooo? Who have we offended? What did we do to deserve all these?”
The Osumenyi attack is coming barely one month after gunmen invaded the Nnewi South Local Government Headquarters in Ukpor, setting some buildings and offices ablaze, after which they also killed a security man guarding the premises.
Recall also that gunmen, on Easter day, attacked another beer parlour and fast food joint, known as the Sophia Fast Food, located close to the Federal Polytechnic, Oko, in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State, where they also attacked and robbed customers who were having a fun-filled Easter bash at the restaurant.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Anambra State, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, was yet to confirm the attack as at the press time, as he said enquires were still ongoing and promised to get back to the reporter.
