Unknown gunmen, on Saturday night, killed seven persons at Umucheke Okwe autonomous community, in Onuimo Local Government Area of Imo State.

DAILY POST gathered that the gunmen opened fire, leading to the killing of the President General of the community, including six village leaders.

A community member, who doesn’t want his name mentioned, said the gunmen struck while the victims were in a weekly meeting.

“Gunmen have just shot dead the President General of Umucheke Okwe and six village heads,” the source said.

The attack took place at the President General’s shop in the community market, where the meeting was being held.

The source further revealed, “Upon their arrival, the gunmen unleashed gunfire, killing all the community leaders before setting the place ablaze. All the community chiefs perished in the assault.”

The motive behind the attack remains unclear, as the source noted, “Nobody understands the reason for the assault. No one knows the purpose of the meeting.”

The community now stands deserted, with villagers fleeing their homes in terror.

As of the time of filing this report, the Imo State Police Command, through the Public Relations officer, ASP Henry Okoye, is yet to respond to the incident when DAlLY POST contacted, as his phone was permanently switched off.

The Israelite need to apologise to Pharaoh after seeing the wickedness of Nigeria leaders . FTC

If Igbos can sell their brothers during slave trade to white man for riches.

What makes you think they won't kill their fellow Igbo brothers for riches..

Ftc

So sad....

They have nothing against Tinubu, they don't have any point to protest, I don't even believe all these killings, nothing bad is happening there. Let's celebrate Tinubu's achievements

This is the result of feeding your children with hate all the time. Hatred will never bring any result rather than destruction.

The result of their long term hatred is manifesting now, they can no longer stays in their region rather than running to either the SW/North.

Make una continue with the hatred, na una go suffer it pass.
I expect una to blame Fulani and DSS as usual.

The insecurity in SE is becoming really worrisome. What the hell is going on?

Tinubu should release Kanu so people stop hiding criminality under the guise of agitating for his freedom

Since it's happening in the east you'll see all the uselèss noneñtities crawling out of the cave to spill trash , but worse has been happening in their regions. I don't know why they love the east more than were they're from.

However, the recent killings in Imo state is worrisome. I just hope this killings are not been carried out by some state actors.

This is horrible

This are the pissful protester. Pls move to the government house and burn it down. Bunch of useless people 😤😤😤 😂

Hope Uzodinma fix your state and stop romancing your wicked APC

The only thing APC brought to Igbo land is insecurity.




Evil party and evil people.

O boy!

Wild

Our eastern blooders

Yet it is Nigeria these Idiots will be calling Zoo. Show me a jungle less terrible than the SE in Nigeria

Barbarians

Assasination

Uzodimma and his unknown gunmen

Why...

Family affairs

Do they protest? No they didn't but they're still not enjoying the peace


They laugh and make mockery of people incident thinking they're save when they've a lot of arsonist actors in their hate filled region


Thank you Lord that I'm not Igbo, I go don change my name

But why on earth do people prefer violence to peace

Before Nnamdi Kanu, we never used to hear this sort of news in any part of Igboland. If you are igbo and you support Nnamdi kanu, you should be burned at the stake. Umu okoko are trying to intimate the community leaders into surrendering their lands. And you see umu uchu supporting these terrorists.

Everybody should thank Tinubu's government for setting the foundation through Buhari and now allowing insecurity to spread all over Nigeria now as president

Omo wetin dy sup for Imo

Why can't the police and military be on red alert about the insecurity and wipe out these unknown gun men from our communities.
