The convoy of the Senator representing Anambra South senatorial zone, Ifeanyi Ubah, was Sunday evening attacked by gunmen, killing at least three policemen.
The incident, according to report, happened at Enugwu Ukwu in Njikoka Local Government Area of the state.
An eye witness said the senator was reportedly injured in the attack which some people described as an assassination attempt on the Young Peoples Party, YPP, senator.
“Ifeanyi Ubah’s convoy came under attack in Enugwu Ukwu this evening. He was ambushed by heavily armed men who opened fire on his convoy. Some of his aides were killed, including some police officers.
“The senator managed to escape as his car was riddled with bullets.
“I was driving up to that spot from the link road to the express when some people in a shop shouted at me and asked me to turn back and take another road, which I did,” the eyewitness said.
