The Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Command, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, has ordered a thorough investigation into an alleged shooting by unidentified armed hoodlums in front of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) secretariat in Enugu on 10th October 2026, at about 2:30 p.m.
The incident reportedly left a man repairing a vehicle parked along the road with a suspected gunshot injury and resulted in damage to the windscreens of five parked vehicles.
A statement from the command’s spokesperson, SP Daniel Ndukwe, said upon receiving a distress report, police operatives promptly moved to the scene, restored normalcy, and rushed the injured victim to a hospital, where he is receiving treatment and is reported to be in stable condition. The CP has directed the State CID to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.
Ndukwe said in a separate incident at about 11:30am, on the same day, joint Police and military operatives dispersed suspected NDC members who gathered in a disorderly manner at the entrance to Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.
He said preliminary findings indicate that airport authorities restricted the party members from entering the airport in large numbers to receive their governorship candidate.
He mentioned that a misunderstanding reportedly arose among the party members and escalated into a fight, prompting the intervention of the joint security operatives.
