A video has surfaced showing Dr Chike Akunyili, husband of former NAFDAC boss, Late Professor Dora Akunyili, gasping for air shortly after he was attacked by unknown gunmen in Nkpor, Anambra state on Tuesday, September 28.
Though details of the incident are still sketchy, a source close to the family said the deceased was at the University of Nigeria Nsukka Alumni Association (UNAA) where the late Dora was honoured some hours before he was killed.
The source, who was shattered by the murder, said: “God, pls render the devil and his agents powerless and useless.
“I was with this man yesterday same yesterday at Sharon Hall, All Saints Cathedral, Onitsha. It was an occasion of University of Nigeria Nsukka Alumni Association (UNAA), Onitsha branch event where they honoured late Dora Akunyili.
“He spoke glowingly about Dora and made a donation of 500k to the association.
He was there with his son ,Obum now working with Anambra state government.
“We saw them off to the car and it was emotional when Obum hugged him tight as both of them separated to join their respective vehicles.
“Obum was in a white Hilux while the man was in a big Jeep (i think Prado). God have mercy!”
In the video seen by PCB GIST, late Akunyili is seen lying on the floor with his bloodied eyes and opened skull. He was gasping for air as onlookers made videos of him battling between life and death. No one bothered to come to his aid or rush him to the hospital after the attack.
Such video cannot be shared online beacuse it is very gory.
The state police command is yet to react to the sad incident.
