Unidentified gunmen have shot dead two persons in Ngor Okpala Local Government Area of Imo State in the last two days.
The victims are Labour Party, LP, candidate for the state House of Assembly, Mr. Andrew Ugwuezumba, and an Abuja-based businessman, Mr. Bennett Nnaji.
Ugwuezumba, from Umunehi, Obiangwu, was murdered at Airport Road, while Nnaji, a native of Umuohiagu, was killed a few metres to the Airport Junction.
Speculations making the rounds in Ngor Okpala indicated that the killings were politically motivated, while some people think assassins were purely on rampage.
