The lawmaker representing Isuikwuato constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly, Lucky Udoka Nweke Johnson, has expressed sadness following the killing of a 35-year-old man, Uche Simon by unknown gunmen.
Johnson, who raised a matter of urgent public importance on the floor of Abia State House of Assembly during plenary session, also said that the motorcycle belonging to the victim was stolen by his attackers.
He noted that the incident happened on January 28, 2026 when his constituent, Uche Simon was returning home with his motorcycle.
The lawmaker also said that on January 29, 2026, one Awba Abdulsalam, a 19-year-old motor boy, was also shot dead by gunmen, at Nnunya junction, also in Isuikwuato.
While confirming that the Police and the Vigilante were working round the clock to arrest those responsible for the crimes, Johnson called for a collaboration between security agencies in Abia and Imo States, particularly around Okigwe zone to address insecurity, and for effective intelligence sharing.
He called for the dismantling of informal settlements around ABSU and Uta Farm, suggesting that a similar approach used in the Lokpa cattle market should be implemented in his own area.
