Nnaji's car was double-crossed and he was shot dead from point blank range.

A former judge of the Enugu High Court, Stanley Nnaji, has been assassinated by gunmen in Enugu, as violence and killings escalate in Nigeria's restive southeastern region.

"The deceased was killed beside Enugu Diagnostics Centre, by Ebeano Tunnel. He was double-crossed and dragged out of his Mercedes Benz Jeep," says Deji Adesogan, a security expert.

Nnaji hails from Mbu, Isi-Uzo local government area of Enugu State.

Nnaji's murder occurred just hours after Ahmed Gulak, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and ex-aide of former President Goodluck Jonathan, was shot dead by gunmen in Imo state.
