The incident was said to
have taken place at about 10.25am.
The attackers were said to
have stormed the SUN newspaper’s office at the Old Market in Onitsha on a
motorcycle.
A two-man gang on Monday
shot and killed a circulation representative of the SUN newspaper, Fabian Obi,
in Onitsha, Anambra State.
A SUN reporter, who pleaded
not to be identified, confirmed the killing to our correspondent.
He said, “They (gunmen)
have killed our circulation representative.
I am rushing to the hospital where he was taken to. But I can confirm to
you that the incident happened and our circulation man is dead.”
Our correspondent gathered
that the gunmen, after shooting Obi three times, stole the money from newspaper
sales.
The state Police Public
Relations Officer, Nkeiruka Nwode, said the command was on the trail of the
suspects, adding that they would be apprehended and made to face the law.
While commiserating with
SUN and the family of the deceased, she assured residents of the state of protection
of their lives and property.
It was gathered that the remains
of the SUNman had been deposited at the Boromeo Hospital morgue.
