This latest violence comes just two days after another attack on police officers in the state. On Sunday, gunmen ambushed a convoy in Umuahia, targeting officers assigned to Hon. Ginger Onwusibe, a member of the House of Representatives.

That ambush claimed the life of one officer, left another injured, and saw the driver narrowly escape.

As of now, the Abia State Police Command has not issued a statement regarding the Ohafia attack, leaving many residents anxious and seeking clarity.
