The Rivers State Police command has confirmed the death of a yet-to-be-identified man who was being chased by armed men along Illabouchi Street in the Diobu axis of Port Harcourt, the state capital.

Eyewitnesses said the assailants, who were in a vehicle, shot many times at the deceased when he ran towards the Emenike/Illabouchi Street in Mile 2, Diobu, Port Harcourt.

One of the eyewitnesses, who did not want his name in print for fear of being traced, said, “After shooting the victim, the assailants zoomed off immediately.

“He was bleeding seriously but people were afraid to assist him because the gunshot made everyone run into their houses.”
