The President-General of Obosi Community, in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State, Hon Ike Okolo has been reportedly shot dead.
Okolo was shot dead in a petrol station in the community by yet-to-be-identified gunmen at about 8pm, a day after the new year.
A video circulating on the internet showed that the community leader was shot right inside his SUV, as he sat in a pool of his own blood, behind the steering of the car.
Obosi is one town known to be notorious for cult clashes, a development the President-General is said to have stood against, since he ascended office.
As of the time of filing this report, it was not clear who his killers were.
The State police command spokesperson, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga is yet to issue a statement on the incident.
