GUNMEN again struck in the early hours of yesterday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, killing a man in his car in front of the Federal High Court Complex.
The Guardian learnt that two men stopped the driver of the car while leaving the court premises on a motorcycle, and ordered him to bring out the money in the boot of his car.
