A Chinese national, whose name has not been revealed has been killed after some gunmen stormed a mining site in Otam Nwogba Village, Izzi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
The gunmen had shot sporadically at workers in the process of which a Chinese and a policeman sustained gunshot injuries. The Chinese national later died in the hospital.
The Police vowed on Monday that they would track down the gunmen.
The incident happened at the border of the state with Benue State.
Police spokesman, SP Chris Anyanwu, stated on Monday at Abakaliki that the gunmen besieged the area and shot sporadically at the security men on duty at the company.
“One of the policemen on duty sustained serious bullet injuries and is still receiving treatment,’’ he stated.
Anyanwu urged members of the public to join hands in fishing out the miscreants by giving prompt and reliable information concerning their identities and or location to the police.
Insecurity at mining sites is a recurrent incident as gunmen take advantage to either kidnap or kill.
