Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, has strongly condemned the killing of soldiers who were ambushed on a routine patrol at Umunze by yet-to-be-identified gunmen in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The incident happened on Wednesday at about 12:30 p.m. beside a branch of the Zenith Bank, close to the popular Nkwo Umunze market in the area.
The gunmen were said to have opened fire on the soldiers who were in their Sienna patrol vehicle, killing several of them in the attack.
According to reports, a resident who has not been identified was caught by stray bullets, and also killed in the attack.
A video clip of the slain soldiers has gone viral on social media.
