The victim was attacked and his vehicle set ablaze by the hoodlums.
No fewer than four members of LP with the deceased were also burnt to death, according to sources.
The incident occurred at Amaechi Awkunanaw, Enugu South Local Government Area of Enugu State.
I’m a related development, a campaign vehicle belonging to Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) candidate for the Enugu North/South Federal Constituency, Hon. Offor Chukwuegbo, was also said to have been set ablaze within the same axis.
Sources told our Correspondent that the driver of the bus was killed, but it’s still unclear the number of casualties recorded in the attack, as at the time of filing this report.
