Residents Flee As Bandits Overrun Imo Community Despite Heavy Security Presence by zero8zero(m): 5:20pm On Mar 05
Despite the presence of heavy security personnel around the Egbema Production Centre of some oil companies at Obiakpu autonomous community in Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo State, bandits are said to have taken over the Ukwugba area of the community.

The indigenes Ukwugba are said to be presently homeless as many have packed their belongings to neighbouring communities where they are seeking refuge.

The incident is said to have been ongoing for about two weeks. The indigenes have therefore called on Governor Hope Uzodinma to urgently intervene.

The eze-elect of the community, Chief Ndubueze Nwokoma said, “Around the Centre, the Nigeria Army has its duty post, the Nigeria Police Force has a station which is some meters away from this post, and the Nigeria Civil Defense and Security Corps are always on patrol in the localities, including the DSS and the vigilantes, yet there are alleged incessant killings in Ukwugba for the past two weeks.”

He said that there were emerging indications to suggest that the bandits operate close to the area where these heavy security outfits are stationed.

The eze-elect therefore opined that since there was a need for Governor Uzodimma to beef up security in the Obiakpu autonomous community, especially, the Ukwugba area, a more crack team of security personnel should be drafted to the area.

When we say APC is evil .. is looks an overstated . Guess Nigerians are seeing it an understatement for real

The once beautiful and quite Imo state has been thrown into a war zone .. ever since APC government came in at state level

Talk more of federal .

Tinubu must go with his evil party for Nigerians to have peace

How can citizens of this country be living with her .. and yet some tribal bigots sees nothing ..
even when their homes are burning ..

Yoruba must be free … on a condition that Tinubu must go
Nigerians must have peace . On condition that we must all join hand to votes out the foolish imp from villa

Two weeks and is still ongoing despite the presence of securities? What can we do to improve the security situation of the nation from North to South, East to West? I am not sure if the government is concerned about the citizens.

2 years ago, unknown gunmen were in Ariaria market and you Igbos were cheering them. I remember you people calling them Angel UGM.

Now, you are crying, looking for who to save you from the consequences of your generational stupidity.

When you are tired of killing yourselves, you will stop. Till then, keep on deceiving yourselves, blaming others for your misfortune.

Bandits or IPOBs?

If it's true that they are bandits, then IPOBs and UGM should be very ashamed of themselves for allowing these people access into their territory

I mean, what effrontery?

Zero sense!!!

Instead of talking about how Nigeria Army that has its duty post, the Nigeria Police Force has a station which is some meters away from this post, and the Nigeria Civil Defense and Security Corps are always on patrol in the localities, including the DSS and the vigilantes, yet there are alleged incessant killings in Ukwugba for the past two weeks. You are busy talking rubbish.

Whether bandits or UGM, the army, police and DSS should have dealt with them... They should be ashamed of themselves.

Yeah... You are right.

Same way we are all pretending that Insecurity is not worsening horribly under President Tinubu across the country.

Pretending and Denials have become the stock in trade of most Nigerians now.

Ignorance is bliss.

If you're educated and wise you would have read where the ruler of the community stated the positions of your so called security forces, while the bandits are still having free access to their jihadis agenda. No matter how strong a stranger may be, the host will surely retain his territory.

It's state-sponsored Jihadists. Bandits are offshoots of Boko Haram fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.
Nigeria pays close to a million people in its armed forces. How come a ragtag Bandits take over a community in any part of the country?

Banditry and fulaniherdsmen killings in nigeria can never cease until the apc is finally booted out of aso rock my community in imo state where very wise enough to reject these barbarians when one apc politician wanted to use them to bargain for political patronage by giving them an area to camp but my community people vehemently refused to allow them to settle there cause they already know the havoc they will be unleashing in the future.
