Gunmen Invade Enugu Community, Kill Monarch, Three Others by Nobody: 12:14pm On Jul 11, 2015
There is confusion in Nkerefi community in Nkanu East local government area of Enugu State, as suspected assassins invaded the area Friday night killing the traditional ruler of Isienu Amofu, Igwe Peter Onuoha.

Also, a native identified as Chocho
as well as a man and his wife, whose identities are yet to be ascertained were also reportedly killed by the gunmen.

Some other natives who were reportedly shot by the gunmen, who invaded the community under the cover of
darkness, are said to be receiving treatment at the Catholic Church-owned, Annunciation Specialists Hospital, Emene Enugu.

Sources hinted that the residents of the
community were thrown into confusion last night when the sound of sporadic shooting by the gunmen rented the air.

Those residing near the palace of the royal father were said to have fled their homes on hearing the sound of
the guns but some unlucky ones were hit by the flying bullets.

At the end of the shooting, the fleeing
natives returned only to discover that their traditional ruler, Igwe Onuoha and one Chocho had been shot dead.
The personal assistant to the royal father identified as Vincent, was reportedly shot while fleeing the palace but he survived the attack.

Within the neighbourhood , it was further
gathered that a man and his wife, said to be a nurse, were also found dead on account of gunshot wounds they sustained.

The reason for the attack could not be
immediately ascertained but sources said the royal father and some
youths in the community had disagreed over a suspicious spiritual sacrifice he made in the community sometime last year.

The source said: “Last year, Igwe and youths in the village had problem when they (youths) accused the monarch of retarding the progress of the community through fetish practices but the Igwe had reportedly told them that the sacrifice he did was purely for his protection and that of his family members and not on behalf of the entire community.

“Angered by the development, the youths were said to have forcefully uprooted the royal father’s signboard to express their disloyalty but the community leaders condemned the act and threatened to fish out and discipline the youths involved. Some of the culprits ran out of the community since then but it is not clear for now if the exiled youths are responsible for this bloodbath.”

Igwe Onuoha, the Eze Na Chi 1, was the Managing Director of Posdonal Nigeria Limited and Secretary of Nkanu East Traditional Rulers Council.

The Enugu State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the incident said the royal father and three others lost their lives in the bloody incident that occurred at Nkerefi last night.

He said that the corpse of the royal father had been deposited at the Eastern Nigeria Medical Centre, Enugu while three other corpses were deposited at Agbani Health Centre in Nkanu West local government area.


The police spokesman said that operatives of the state police command “are already on the matter to unravel the circumstances surrounding their deaths but from available information there seems to be an internal wrangling among the people of the community”.

They will always want to unravel the circumstances surrounding the deaths but apprehend the murderers and bring them to justice na wahala. If na kidnapping and armed robbery, na Police specialisation be that but murder, na history be that one embarassed.

From the report the assassins appear to be Igbos

Evil exists everywhere. I know you people want to get rid of those cow herders....but even if you get rid of those cow herders and a certain religion from the face of the earth.....evil will still exist, and it exists among you.

The only way we can fight evil is not by eradication, but by the cold realization that evil exists even among us and it must be actively resisted.

Dealing with Fulanis will not solve the problems at home.

How did you know? Did you aid in their escape?Is there something you are not telling us?

It is fine if you want to pretend that sinners exist everywhere else...and that your tribe is the purest and most cleanest tribe in Nigeria.In reality....that is called pretending.
