A man said to be a staff member of Anambra Road Transport Management Agency (ARTMA) has been shot dead in Awka, Anambra State capital.
His killing followed another killing on Wednesday evening at Aroma area of Awka where one person was gunned down.
According to a source, the Thursday incident happened close to a motor park, where commuters pick passengers from Awka to Nnewi.
The source said the victim is an official of ARTMA.
He said, "I think the man who was killed is an ARTMA official. He stopped some people who were driving a Toyota Sienna vehicle with tinted glasses, and the people shot him and drove off.
“It happened just close to me as I was boarding a vehicle this morning to go to Nnewi,” the source said.
Cult related killings resonated in Awka since Easter, but it was not clear if Thursday morning incident was related to cult war
The Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Tochukwu Ikenga, was yet to react to the killing as at the time of filling this report.
