The Eastern Updates gathered that Mr. Amukamara was killed by the assailants at his residence in Awomamma in Orlu East LGA of the state.
Tension has heightened in the southeast in the past months as assaults on security formations and killings have become widespread in the region, particularly in Imo State.
Amukamara’s death is coming just one day after a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ahmed Gulak was murdered in the southeast state, triggering a wave of condemnation from government officials.
Gulak was killed around Umueze Obiangwu in Ngor-Okpala Local Government Area close to the Sam Mbakwe Airport road in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
