Ezekiel Nwokedi: Gunmen Loot, Burn Down Palace Of Traditional Ruler In Imo State by lexylaw40: 9:50pm On Aug 07, 2023
Some gunmen have reportedly burnt the residence of the Eze-elect of Okwuru Orsuihiteukwo in the Orsu local government area of Imo State, Chief Ezekiel Nwokedi.

The incident, SaharaReporters gathered, happened on Saturday night.

According to community sources, the hoodlums looted valuables worth millions of naira before setting it ablaze.

It was gathered that the hoodlums supervised the complete burning of the multi-million naira mansion and ensured it was razed down before they left.

The incident, it was gathered, brought renewed fears and apprehension among the remaining villagers, who instantly fled into nearby forests.

Orsuihiteukwa, as it was learned, has been plagued by gunmen attacks prompting inhabitants to flee to safer environments.

The Eze-elect who was said to be the Chairman of Odinma Orsu Initiative (OOI), an apex socio-cultural group, narrated his ordeal to journalists in Owerri.

Hoodlums attacked my home on Saturday night, looted valuables worth millions of naira, and set it ablaze. I have nothing left for me. This is my most tragic moment. I am speechless. I only call on the government of Imo state and the security agencies in the state to intervene," he said.

The Eze-elect, according to reports, had been at the forefront of the battle against insecurity in the LGA using his Odinma Orsu Initiative to advocate for ceasefire and peace in the LGA.

He had earlier initiated an amnesty programme from the state government where a few gunmen were said to have surrendered their arms.

He regretted the sudden rise in insecurity in the state when he thought the tide had decreased.

“Odinma Orsu Initiative has been fighting against the incessant killings, kidnappings, arsons, and all manners of extra-judicial activities in the state.”

When SaharaReporters contacted the Imo State Police Public Relations Officer, Henry Okoye, he confirmed the incident but noted that they were yet to get full information regarding the incident.
He promised to revert as soon as he was fully briefed.

Pit Obi will say nothing.
Once a Hausa man throws a stone at an Igbo man, he will start foaming from all the holes in his body.

The earlier you guys accept Simon Epa as your supreme leader the better for you.

SE governors are playing with fire by undermining the gravity of this problem. These guys have realized that most of the Igbo elites are not in support of their dream for Biafra or through agitation after kalu was jailed and have decided to get it through the back door. In the past 2-3 years they have gone into full time bloody guerilla warfare with the aim to obliterate anything that represents Nigerian Federal government in SE from killing and burning police stations, military posts, killing uniformed men, traditional rulers, government back vigilantes etc .They have been raising millions daily from kidnappings and robberies to achieve this aim and they have been collecting arms from service men they kill to increase their chest...I heard Akwa okuko paid 300m in ransom. The aim of this people is to get Biafra through the back door by Trying to capture government institutions, military facilities in SE, blow up Niger bridge to cut off access to SE/SS . The channel they smuggle in their arms from rumors are through the turkey, Libya, corridor through southern anglophone Cameroon. If the SE governors do not take very urgent action now this might degenerate into another 1967
