The horrifying incident occurred at Oba community in Idemili South Local Government Area on Thursday, August 1, 2024, when the victims were ambushed by armed men suspected to be assassins or kidnappers.
The victims were identified as Mrs. Ngozi Nwafor, and her daughters Martha Ogochukwu and Uchenna Mary Nwafor.

Their son, Mr. Ifeanyi Emmanuel Nwafor, miraculously survived but remains in critical condition at a hospital.
Eyewitnesses said the family was returning home when the gunmen suddenly opened fire on their vehicle, hitting all four occupants. Passersby and sympathizers reportedly rushed to the scene and conveyed the victims to Chibuenyim Hospital and Maternity, Oba, where doctors confirmed three dead on arrival.
Hospital records revealed that the victims were brought in around 11 p.m., and medical personnel issued separate death certificates citing multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death.
The Nwafor family, natives of Ebiaji community in Ezza North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, had been residing in Anambra for several years.
The latest attack has left Ifeanyi Emmanuel as the sole surviving member of his immediate family, having lost his father years earlier.
Residents of the community have described the killings as “barbaric and heartbreaking,” calling on the authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice.
“We can’t sleep with our eyes closed anymore. These killings are becoming too frequent,” a local trader lamented.
Meanwhile, the Anambra State Police Command has launched an investigation into the incident.
Although no arrests have been made, the Commissioner of Police, Ikioye Orutugu, has assured that the culprits will be tracked down.
