Anambra State Commissioner for Lands, Hon. Bonaventure Enemali, yesterday escaped death in the hands of some naval officers.

Enemali was allegedly shot at yesterday evening, when a naval officer at Awkuzu Junction shot at his car, piercing the back windshield of the Ford Escape SUV, which the Commissioner was driven in.

Sources said the incident happened as the Commissioner was being driven to Awka through the Enugu-Onitsha expressway.
The state police command Public Relations Officer, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga, said he was not aware of the attack, but Enemali, who spoke to THISDAY confirmed the incident, saying it was still like a dream to him.

He said: “As I speak, I’m still trying to piece together the details of what happened. It happened just this afternoon.”
When THISDAY inquired for the Public Relations Officer of the Navy outstation in Anambra State, Lt Ajikobi, he said he would get back with details, saying that he was in a noisy event. As at the time of filing this report, Ajikobi was yet to get back with details.
