Aba Based Lawyer, Emperor Gabriel Ogbonna Shot by Unknown Gunmen

A popular Aba Based Lawyer and Human Right Activist  Barr.
Emperor Gabriel Ogbonnaya has been shot by yet to be identified
gunmen in Aba.

According to PUO METRO, the Item Born Lawyer was shot in front
of his House. Confirming the incident our source revealed that
Emperor Gabriel Ogbonnaya is in a critical condition in an
undisclosed hospital.

However, Mr. Onyebuchi Emenanka has released a press statement
debunking the claim that Emperor is in critical condition. He
further confirmed that contrary to views making round, the attach
on Emperor was not politically motivated.

His statement below:

This is to inform the general public, especially members of
the Nigeria Bar Association, Aba branch and friends of associates
of my friend,
Barrister Empero Gabriel Ogbonna that he is
safe and stable. He is currently in good hands at a good medical
facility.

Late last night when I got the information, I rushed to the
medical facility where I met Emperor himself, his wife
and other close relatives including his junior in Chambers.
I was delighted to see Emperor in high spirits. God
intervened and the ultimate plans of the evil minds were
unsuccessful.  Before I left the place just before midnight,
we ensured that all necessary arrangements were put in place for
unhindered treatment and access to proper Medicare. The medical
personnel are on top of the situation.
For the avoidance of doubt, please note that Emperor will
receive the best available treatment.

I also personally informed Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of the
incident after midnight and he expressed deep concern and asked me
to convey his personal message of sympathy to Emperor and
further instructed that I liaise with the family to ensure that he
gets necessary assistance. As Governor, he said, he took an oath to
ensure the safety and protection of all citizens of the state. He
assured him of his prayers for quick recovery while security
agencies will commence investigations.

I just left the medical facility where I conveyed the
message of the Governor to Emperor and his wife. Again,
he is in high spirits and if you see him, you won’t even know he
has any issues. Emperor is not, by any stretch of the
imagination, under risk at all. He will be fine. If need be, he
would be moved to another facility.

Finally, it is critical to state that what happened must be
viewed from the correct perspective as an isolated case of
attempted kidnap and armed banditry. Emperor himself
confirmed this. The bandits didn’t take him hostage because they
saw that he was in dire need of medical attention and could pose a
higher risk if they took him away. If it was a case of an
assassination, by now, the story would have been
different.

The insinuations going round about political assassination,
politically motivated attack and the likes are absolute bunkum and
high grade balderdash. People should stop raising unfounded
allegations and bandying information they have no iota of proof in
support thereof. Politically motivated attacks on anyone is alien
in today’s Abia political lexicon. This point must be made
abundantly clear.

Finally, let us thank God for His intervention and also
continue praying for accelerated recovery for the Onunaekwuruoha of
Item Okpi.

 Many have come out openly to challenge the above
claim and to demand that Emperor or a member of his family should
address the public on his present state of health.
