It was gathered that the 31-year-old entertainer was driving his newly acquired Lexus 330, when he was attacked and shot dead at Umubere, Awka area of the state.
Vanguard quoted a close friend of the artiste saying that the attack on Ifeanyi who just acquired the Lexus 330 two weeks ago, was targeted.
“He was driving his new car which he bought just two weeks ago when it happened. Although we don’t know why he was attacked it looks like a targeted attack,” he said.
Fans have also taken to social media to mourn Slami who was also a model, actor, and founder of the SLAMI EMPIRE, which organized ANAMBRA GOT TALENT.
