Police not aware of killing of internship student in Ebonyi: Spokesperson
The Police command in Ebonyi, on Friday, said it was not aware of the killing of an internship staff attached to the dental therapy department of Alex-Ekwueme Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki.
Some national dailies had reported that the deceased, Mr Kelvin Onuchie, was shot dead in front of his residence, Mberi Street, Abakaliki, on Wednesday night.
