There was tension as unknown gunmen assassinated a father and his little son, putting residents in a comatose state along Old Ekete Road, Udu local government area of Delta State.
Trouble started on the 17th of March 2022, along the old Ekete road, opposite Ghawan junction at about 6:00pm, when the assailants invaded the abhor and shot the groom and his little son to death.
It was further gathered that the deceased had earlier in the day concluded his traditional marriage before he was shot dead in his residential area.
Witnesses said that the gory incident forced traders, shop owners and residents to flee the area for fear of reprisal attacks.
It was, however, gathered that the incident had been reported to the Ovwian Police Division for further investigation.
Meanwhile, the two corpses were said to have been deposited in an undisclosed morgue in Udu town.
Contacted, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bright Edafe, debunked the report.
Said him: “that report is not true because there was no official report like that. Even the person that was quoting Punch, when I called punch, they said the report didn’t come from them. So, I don’t know where from, it is not true”, he said.
