His brother, Dike Chukwumerije made this known in a statement sent to journalists on Monday.
According to Dike, the attack took place while the commissioner was returning from Okigwe to Umuahia.
“He was on his way from Okigwe to Umuahia, when the car behind him opened fire. It was not his time to die. So, he and the three others with him escaped unscathed, even though the car was riddled with bullets,” he wrote.
