Soludo Speaks On Attack Murder Of 3 Policemen In Anambra 

iexclusive News Nigeria reports that former CBN Governor Chukwuma Soludo has narrated the attack on his entourage on Wednesday in Anambra State.

Soludo said gunmen opened fire during a town hall meeting he attended at the Isuofia community in Aguata Local Government Area.

Three of his police guards were murdered as the incident sparked outrage.

Chukwuma told Channels Television’s Politics Today that the incident lasted “10 or 15 minutes of continuous gun battle”.

The economist recalled that he was about to wrap up the meeting and request comment from those in attendance.

“By the time we all came back, we saw three bodies lying in the pool of their blood. They were the three policemen. May God grant their soul eternal rest.

“I thought the policemen were shooting in the air. Until I began to hear people screaming and all of that and everybody just scampered for safety.”

Chukwuma condoled the families of the slain officers and promised to support them.

He is the leading governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the November election.

Chukwuma described the attack as senseless, adding that the race for political office should not cost human lives.

The Police have arrested five suspects connected to the incident.
