The gunmen, on Wednesday attacked the campaign convoy of the Peoples Democratic Party candidate for Enugu North/South Federal Constituency, Oforchukwu Egbo.

The PUNCH gathered that the incident happened at Eke-Otu in Amechi Awkunanaw, Enugu South Local Government Area of the state.

The hoodlums killed the driver of one of the buses in the convoy.

His body, according to reports, was burnt with the vehicle.
