The Tree That Killed People In Imo State (picture) by Lordjunta(m): 11:23am On May 29, 2013
Uko, as fondly called was a tree located at Umudagu Mbieri in Mbaitolu LG of Imo state. Due to the shade the tree provided,an evening market was established called Ukwu Uko market. Nobody knew what the Uko tree was 'nursing' when the market became expanded and recognised as one-stop market one could buy fresh vegitables and foodstuffs. I used to go there to buy things when i was an undergraduate of Imo state University living at Sarah Hostel.'Because i'm involved' (in the words of Dim Odemegwu Ojukwu) i had a first hand feel of what the tree and the market look ed like,i write authoritatively that the tree was hail and hearty,with fresh leaves on it as seen in the picture. This is why people tend to wonder over the sudden collapse of Uko tree and even during the evening market when the market was filled wit buyers and sellers. So many were sent to their untimely graves including a pregnant woman by this tree. It was horrifying.

It's unfortunate that this tree killed abt 31 persons and injured abt 16 others. IMO state is filled with so much trees and bushes even around people's homes. Lets learn from this and cut down those forest near us today.

While the world is calling on people to plant more trees, you're calling for the direct opposite.

How did they get killed? did the tree shoot them with a gun? If yes, which hand? if no, How did they died?

Please tell you specifically how they died and a concrete proof that the tree was responsible for their death
