Azuofia-Edda Community Of Abakaliki Attacked, Properties Destroyed by morereb10: 6:32am On Jan 20, 2017
It seems the only thing Federal Government does this days is to sit around and watch mayhem been unleashed on its citizens and will only react if it concerns any of their friends or families. This is really in bad faith i must tell you that much. Following a distress call from EBSEMA to NEMA South East over an attack, a joint team of NEMA & EBSEMA visited the affected communities to ascertain the level of damages caused by the group.

Findings revealed that residential homes with household items and food items, farm land & economic trees, were destroyed and the affected people have fled from their homes to neighbouring communities for fears of more attack by the sect. Meanwhile, some of the IDPs are taking shelter in schools which are guided by law enforcement officers.

Below is a detailed report by African Free Press on the gruesome attack:

"On the 13th of January 2017, the people of Azuofia-Edda community of Abakaliki Local Government Area in Ebonyi State while in the comfort of their homes, on a very cold harmattan morning, sleeping, filled with dreams and plans on activities for the day, were attacked by a consortium of villages of Ofomana, Ogwurude (Ekori), Ofonama, Okinbogha, Ogamana, Ovurokponu, Okpechi, Ofenagama, Eja, and Ujitum all in Obubra Local Government Area of Cross River state.

This attack started by 4am with sporadic shootings from warriors said to have numbered over five hundred, without enough time for the villagers of Azuofia-Edda community to save their lives or properties – they were outnumbered.

These aggressors from the aforementioned Obubra villages had travelled over ten kilometres to reach the villages of Azuofia-Edda community. Villagers fleeing their homes reported that amongst the attackers were hired fighters and warriors, native doctors brandishing charms of all kinds and youths of various age groups carrying sophisticated weapons – including machine guns and Kalashnikovs, machetes, axes, motorized saws and petrol etc., with the sole aim of wiping out the villages in Azuofia-Edda community.

Who carried out the attack, who are their sponsors? The police should quickly unravel this and bring perpetrators to justice soon

Kai!
Very sad. I think its high time these villagers go to sleep with arms and ammunitions to protect themselves.

This sole call government is not ready to do anything good for the masses except themselves.


The earlier we all understand this, the better it will be for us all.

When the unrighteous is on the throne, people suffers.
Its quite unfortunate

If the government can't protect its citizens anymore. They should be allowed to carry arms from r self defense. No one sits around waiting to be killed
