Enugu market Leader Stephen Aniago Killed in Cold Blood

In a shocking incident that shook the community, the Chairman of Ogbete Main Market Traders Association, Stephen Aniago, was ambushed and shot to death by unidentified gunmen on Saturday night.

According to police reports, the assailants fled the scene in Aniago’s Toyota Corolla car, leaving the victim fatally wounded. The police promptly transported Aniago to the hospital, where he was tragically pronounced dead.

The Enugu State Police Command has launched an aggressive investigation into the matter, deploying specialized teams to track down the perpetrators and ensure justice is served.

As the police comb through evidence and possible leads, the motive behind the brutal attack on Aniago remains elusive.

This incident, while deeply disturbing, is not an isolated case in Enugu State, where crime and violence have become an unfortunate reality for many. The pressure is now on the police to restore a sense of security and stability to the community, while honoring Aniago’s memory by bringing his killers to justice.

The days ahead will be difficult for the community as they grieve the loss of Aniago and grapple with the difficult questions raised by his death.
