Police in Ebonyi State, Nigeria, have confirmed the killing of the owner of Galaxy Hotel – Ogbonnaya Nwadibia.
Nwadibia was killed alongside two others in Isu, a community in Onicha Local Government Area of the state.
Spokesperson for the police in the state, Chris Anyanwu, made the confirmation Sunday in an interview with newsmen in Abakaliki.
