Some gunmen have reportedly shot dead the elder brother of Nollywood actor Osita Iheme aka Pawpaw.
According to reports, Pawpaw’s brother, Prince Iheme, a police officer, was murdered in Nigeria’s Imo State, capital of Owerri, Mbaitoli on December 9, 2022.

Another person who was injured during the attack was the Commissioner of Solid Minerals in the State, Martin Eke. The gunmen were said to have ridden in a Tundra operational vehicle. They were reportedly shot sporadically, causing a lot of people to run for their lives.

Eyewitnesses told The Punch that the gunmen met policemen at 7up junction at Orji and shot one cop dead.

“They just killed policemen now. They opened fire on them and were shouting there is sit at home. We have asked you to go home. Stay indoors,” the witness said.

Another eyewitness said: ” I just escaped death by whiskers now. They stopped before us and asked us to go home. They didn’t shoot at us maybe because I was in the midst of some elderly women.

While Prince Iheme was killed on the spot, Eke was injured.

“Prince Iheme was riding in the same vehicle with the commissioner for solid minerals, Martin Eke. Prince Iheme who is Pawpaw’s elder brother was killed on the spot. The commissioner who was sworn in two weeks ago was cut badly. He has just been rushed to a hospital. They were driving in a Ford vehicle. I pray he makes it,” the witness said.

A woman, Onyii Manifestation and her child also survived the attack at Obodoukwu in Ideato North Local Government Area of the state.

“Unknown gunmen!!! Thank you, Jesus. They didn’t come for money but for life…They shot sporadically this afternoon but God protected his own. No life was lost!!! Help me thank God for saving us from the attack of unknown gunmen… at Obodoukwu ideato north IMO state. Not my head. Not my blood. Attack will come but you shall be saved… Says the Lord,” she wrote.
