Yet to be identified Gunmen have murdered Nnaemeka Ugboma, the chairman of Ejemekwuru Customary Court in the Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State.
Nnaeke was killed while presiding over a court session, according to a source.
The incident brought the court sitting to an abrupt end as lawyers, court staff and litigants fled.
CityNews gathered that the killing of the jurist who hailed from the Nnebukwu community in Oguta LGA caused panic in the Ejemekwuru community as natives and residents alike fled their homes.
One of the sources said,” The jurist was a law graduate of 1991 set. He was killed in his court while sitting. His killers came with motorcycles. They came into the court, dragged him out and shot him dead, and drove off.
“His corpse was there as people in court fled. The whole thing is confusing because nobody knew any reason why they killed him. He was from the Nnebukwu community in Oguta LGA here.”
