The horrible event, which happened around 2:30 a.m. on January 1, 2023, also led to the brutal death of his wife, Urenwa Kalu Chima.
A person who saw what happened said that she was shot and killed.
The event was confirmed by the Ebonyi State Police Command, which also said, "It has not been determined who did the dastardly act, but the Ebubeagu Commander said it was Okporie Ashango and his friends."
"CP Aliyu Garba, the Commissioner of Police in the state, has told the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) to start an investigation right away to find out who is behind the crimes.
"Furthermore, detectives from the SCIID and members of the Command's Tactical Teams have taken over the situation in the area because the CP has ordered that the criminals be found and brought to justice as soon as possible."
"It's a shame that troublemakers are still stirring up trouble in the state, even though we're in a new year!" Added the police spokesman.
Three people were killed in Ekoli-Edda community in Afikpo South LGA of Ebonyi last December. This led to the murder of the house of the Ebubeagu Commander in Owutu Edda community and the murder of his wife.
