Personnel of the Nigerian Navy manning a checkpoint at Awkuzu junction on Sunday fired gunshots at the the Anambra State Commisioner for lands, Bonaventure Enemali.
Standardobservers gathered that the attack occurred on Sunday evening.
The gunshots pierced the back windshield of the Ford Escape SUV the Commissioner was chauffeured in.
Enemali’s aide said that he narrowly escaped being murdered in cold blood this afternoon.
“You can see how one of the Nigerian Navy men at Awukuzu junction targeted and shoot at the honourable commissioner’s car from the rear glass.
“My questions are: what are Navy men doing at the junction? Why should they shoot innocent citizens at sight?”
Enemali, who spoke newsmen said the shooting was still like a dream to him.
He said the navy officers did not flag him down and he refused to stop.
“As I speak, I’m still trying to pierce together the details of what happened. It happened just this afternoon,” he said.
When contacted, Lt Ajikobi, the Public Relations Officer of the Navy outstation in Onitsha said he had not been briefed on the incident, promising to get back to our correspondent.
Also, Ikenga Tochukwu, the police spokesman in Anambra said he had not been briefed on the incident.
