Some unknown gunmen have killed Gab Onuzulike, a former Commissioner for Rural Development in Enugu State.
Onuzulike was shot dead on Friday evening.
The incident occurred at Nkpokolo Achi while the ex-commissioner was returning from a burial ceremony.
The slain former government official was also a two-term Chairman of Oji-river Local Government Council of Enugu State.
An elder brother of the slain politician who was with him in his car at the time of the incident was also shot dead.
Meanwhile, a source disclosed that a team of security agents pursued the assailants, eliminated one of them and arrested a gunman.
The development has thrown residents of Oji River and its neighbouring communities into mourning state.
All efforts to speak with the Police spokesperson in the State proved abortive.
