Godson Anumenwe, afinal year student of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, has been killed by a stray bullet in Imo State.

Anumenwe was shot dead during a gun duel between unknown gunmen and soldiers at a military checkpoint at Ubomiri in Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State.

The hoodlums had attacked the checkpoint on new year’s eve but were repelled by the soldiers leading to the death of four of the criminals.

However, the 500L Radiography student, who was said to have left Port Harcourt for his hometown on Saturday night, December 31, 2022, was also hit by stray bullets leading to his death.

The President of the Radiography Students’ Association, Anonde Stephen, confirmed the sad news in a statement on Monday, January 2, 2023.

“Until the time of his death, he was in the 500 level class waiting to sign out very soon. It’s a very sad loss for all,” the statement read.

“We sympathize with the bereaved and urge all to remember the family in prayers as we grief and mourn this great loss. Rest easy Godson.”
