Tragedy struck Awka, the Anambra State capital, late on Sunday when unidentified assailants allegedly shot dead a popular comedian and media personality, Isaac Nwosu, popularly known as ‘Aiza Nwosu’, as well as an unidentified middle-aged man.
It was gathered that the two victims were shot at separate locations by the same assailants.
While the comedian was killed along S.M. Okeke Street, Amaikwo, Awka, the other victim was shot dead along Capital City Road, Amaenyi, Awka.
The motive for the killings had yet to be ascertained, but it was gathered that the incident created tension in the area, with residents scampering to safety amid gunshots that rent the air.
However, accounts gathered from some eyewitnesses and residents suggested that the attacks might be connected to cult-related activities.
