Anambra, hitherto peaceful state, has recently witnessed several killings in the build up to the November 6 governorship poll.
Also, the driver of the House of Representatives member representing Nnewi North/ South federal Constituency, Chris Azubogu, was killed on September 30 when gunmen attacked the convoy of Azubuogu at Nnewi in Anambra.
However, the lawmaker, who just defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) had a lucky escape as he was not in the vehicle when they launched the attack.
