Gunmen on Monday struck at Ohii Junction on the Owerri-Orlu Road in Imo State.

The Attack left no fewer than four persons dead.

Sources said that two of the victims were reportedly policemen reportedly on duty in the area.

Our correspondent saw a video clip circulating on various social media platforms showing the lifeless bodies of the victims.

A Facebook User, Anyaeri Bright, who shared a video clip of the incident, confirmed that two policemen and two civilians allegedly lost their lives in the attack.

Our correspondent gathered that the fleeing gunmen opened fire at the junction, which claimed the lives of the victims.

As of the time of filing this report, the reason for the attack had yet to be ascertained.

This is even as some Point of Sales operators were attacked and their monies were stolen in parts of Owerri on Monday.

Presh Iheanacho said, “Earlier today, around 9am, some armed men in a Corolla vehicle attacked some POS shops and passersby just before Rapour Junction, disposing them of cash and valuables.”

Another resident, Ikechukwu Eze, disclosed that some POS operators were robbed at Amawire – Orji on the Owerri – Okigwe Road.

Iheanacho also disclosed that around 8am on Monday, some criminals stormed Christiana junction at Egbu Road and robbed PoS operators.

The spokesperson for the police in the state, Henry Okoye, said that he had yet to be briefed when contacted.

He promised to make inquiries and get back to our correspondent but had yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.

coward thieves

people are suffering but they still manage to come out every day to look for their daily bread but one fool somewhere thinks it is smarter to come rob hardworking people and waste the lives of four people in the process.


Nigeria still needs capital punishment.

Insecurity is very high

Our criminal justice system is very slow otherwise anyone caught in the act of kidnapping, armed robbery should be given the death penalty sharp sharp which will be carried out without delay

I blame Peter obi for all this rubbish. He recruited criminals as supporters, gave the arms now see all that is happening.

A once peaceful SE now a war thorn region.

God will judge Peter obi, a desperate light weight politician.

DSS must arrest Obi now
