Gunmen kill two in Imo while enforcing sit-at-home
Suspected gunmen have killed two persons while enforcing the seven-day sit-at-home in Owerri north LGA, Imo state.
However, on Saturday, the suspected gunmen believed to be enforcers of the sit-at-home invaded the Akwakuma junction in the LGA. “I was at my shop when the gunshots started raining in the air. We all ran away out of fear. Although, I did not see the gunmen but I heard their gunshots closely. Two people were shot dead.”
“If it had been that security agents mounting illegal check points on every inch of our roads are searching both the occupants and vehicles instead of extorting money, this ugly incident would have been nipped in the bud.”“If these things could happen in Owerri capital city, how about the rural communities?” the unnamed resident said.
