The popular beer drinking spot known as ‘Uto Ndu’ Beer Parlour (Swiftness of Life) is owned by the lady victim from Amichi, a nearby town to Osumenyi, also in the same council area.
An indigene of Osumenyi, who pleaded anonymity said told Saturday Vanguard that the number of the victims, including the dead and the injured, could not be ascertained until Saturday morning because of the time of the incident, adding that people were afraid to come out following the sporadic and persistent gunshot, adding that some of the dead victims may have died due to no assistance offered them to hospital.
