Unknown gunmen have reportedly killed an army officer whose name was said to be Major Churchill Orji in Azia area of Ihiala local government, Anambra State.
Orji hailed from Nneogidi village, Agulu in Anaocha local government area of the state. It was not clear what took him to Azia which is considered one of the most dangerous area which has become a den of the dreaded gunmen.
Orji’s secondary school mate, Leonard Edu, while lamenting the death of the Army officer said he was his senior at Agulu Boys Secondary School.
“He was our labour prefect then. It is true that he was killed by unknown gunmen at Azia, although we are yet to have the details of what led to his death”, Edu said.
