Pandemonium broke out as multiple rounds of gunshots rang out at the CD195, a popular bar, and nightclub located at Ezenwegbu road, Okpuno Otolo Nnewi.
The gunshots threw the patrons into wild panic as they rushed out of the club to avoid falling victim to stray bullets.
Our sources revealed that a young man got into an altercation with another young man. One of the young men in the fight called his friends, who showed up with machetes and other dangerous weapons.
The flight of the customers running for their lives caused the road users who heard the gunshots to abandon their vehicles on the road. The store owners also ran for cover.
With the climate of insecurity lately around the Nnewi environment escalated by unknown gunmen, it is understandable to run for one’s dear life.
The gang must have observed that other man’s gang members had arrived and opted to beat a retreat.
The new arrivals also opened fire which further amplified the confusion on the night of March 12, 2022.
Vision Newspapers gathered that the police had taken up the investigation. Our effort to reach the Area Commander proved abortive.
The Vigilante chairman of Okpuno Otolo was also not available to respond to our inquiries.
