The source said that the assailants invaded the AVG’s premises at about 7 a.m.
The incident happened barely two weeks after a building collapsed, killing five persons in Ochanja Market, Onitsha, Anambra.
The police spokesperson said both suspects were arrested in their hideout at Okija in the council area.
Mr Ikenga said anyone with information about the whereabouts of Mr Omadefu should contact the police.
“The gang members boarded a commercial bus from Nnewi.’’
“The mentally ill man was later taken to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation.’’
Following the mishap, passers-by reportedly attempted to rescue the victims from the Onitsha banks.
Mr Adeoye thanked the citizen for his humane concern.
“They observed three gunmen suspected to be herdsmen and fled for their dear lives.”
He said no arrest had been made and that the people were willing to help with information they were currently working on.
