Yesterday, masked gunmen dressed in fake military uniforms went on a shooting spree in Orji, Imo State, killing a female police officer and 2 other people. According to reports, the female police victim hailed form the Ngor Okpala Local Government Area of the state.
The shootings were carried out by hoodlums who came from the Amakohia end of the Orji flyover. In response to the ongoing unrest in Imo state, a large number of youths in Owerri are staging a peaceful protest demanding for orderliness.
A man was spotted carrying a placard with a message that people inciting unrest in the state, as well as those who support them, may have forgotten. “IMO BELONGS TO ALL OF US, LET US PROMOTE PEACE AND ORDERLINESS,” the placard reads.
Another man was spotted carrying a Placard with a message that everybody in Imo state would have been worried since the unrest began. The placard reads ” GOVERNMENT PROTECT OUR LIVES AND PROPERTIES”
In Imo state, innocent people have been killed and the properties of several prominent people have been burned down in recent months. The most recent is that of Chief A.K Ugba, whose mansion was razed by unidentified gunmen two days ago.
What’s your thoughts on this? What do you think can be done to bring Imo State back to normalcy?
