We are working on identifying cause of insecurity —Govt  

•We’re investigating the attack—Imo Police

By Chinonso Alozie & Emmanuel Iheaka

Barely 48 hours after Imo State governor, Hope Uzodinma cried to President Muhammadu Buhari for help, over the security situation in the state, gunmen have again attacked another community in the state, killing some  persons and injuring others.

Many  residents  at the attacked community, Etekwuru community in Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo State, yesterday, began to leave the community in their numbers as armed men in motorcycle convoy invaded the community and allegedly killed many and damaged houses.  Vanguard gathered from the Etekwuru community  that villagers have abandoned their homes and fled into the bush as a result of the attacks.

The traditional ruler of the Etekwuru community, Eze Kenneth Okereke, confirmed the attack and said he was at the Police station regarding the incident but promised he would give the details of the attack  later.

“Yes, my community was attacked by gunmen and I will speak on  it  later. I am at the police station for now,” he said.

An eyewitness who spoke to Vanguard said he  could not give the  reason for the attack but said the attackers were demanding that the villagers should vacate. 

He said: “They were shooting everywhere as they entered different sections of the village. We cannot have the exact number of people dead or injured or the number of houses damaged. 

“As you go  you  will see  some people lying down and many houses destroyed. Tomorrow,  we will know the extent of the damage and the number of deaths. 

“We will also know the number of the houses destroyed. As I am talking to you, many people have  fled  the village  into the bush and they sleep there. I don’t think they will come back for now.”

Another witness,Apostle Don Elem linked the incident to the level of insecurity in the community and called on the relevant government and security agencies to ensure that there is the security of lives and properties in the communities. 

It should be recalled Imo oil communities have been under attacks by unknown gunmen for the past few months causing tension and loss of lives. 

When the Imo State Police Public Relations Officer, was contacted he confirmed the attack adding that the command has commenced investigation into what happened.

A source in Imo State government said:  “Top government officials are meeting in the Government House with security agencies to unravel the root cause of the continued insecurity situation especially in the oil communities of the state after the meeting decisions will be taken.”

Where in the report did it indicate fulani bandits carried out the attack?

To the person above me, do you want the report to mention Fulanis when the government have made it clear to press houses to remove Fulani herdsmen from any attack Fulanis carry out?

When DSS start killing this unknown Ipolanis now they will start wailing

Fulani is the owner of Imo, leave them.

Blaming Fulani herdsmen would only make ESN incompetent.. or

Why do Nigerians get excited anytime evil things are happening to Igbos ?

And when good things happen to them, Yorubas feel pained

As usual

They're FULANI HERDSMEN, BOKOHARAMS. THEY'RE NOT FULANI BANDITS

You guys have celebrated the misfortunes of other tribes and the Country for a long time.

They are all now aware of the hate you guys have in you and now enjoy your pains.

Hate attracts more hate. You can't give hate and expect love.

No be Fulani, this is fellow Igbos fight over the little oil resources in their communities

So Ndi formidable have gone to seek refuge in the Bush. Youdontmeanit

Lies from the pits of hell by Ipob terrorists. The attack was done by Ipob/ESN unknown gunmen so they can claim it’s fulani herdsmen and use it to raise more funds for their scam. Can anyone believe with the level of carnage happening in the SE, fulani herdsmen will still attack the people? These attacks can only be carried out by those who are familiar with the people…by Ipob terrorists bingos.

They're trying to force the indigenous people of these gas rich communities to run away so they can fix their wild fulani people there and pipe oil easily to Niger republic. Buhari is living in another world. He thinks this is the middle belt? He thinks this 1960? Nobody is ready to give him an inch o fans in Imo State, rather we will take from him. And people will use whatever means available to defend their lives and property and land.

Moferere:
Enjoy your Biafra

how do you mean,

Fire for Fire.

Fulanis do not understand Peace or Negotiation. The only thing they understand is Violence. Give them double of the Violence that they bring and you will see them run far away into their desert.

As there is an interest (oil) in that community, you don't need much clue to decode that na fellow Igbos they fight themselves to gain control, don't be surprise if some top politicians and business men dey behind this drama. No be everything be Fulani.
