2 Beheaded, 4 Injured In Renewed Anambra/ Kogi Oil Crisis by oluwatomisin93(m): 7:05am On Aug 06, 2015 |

Awka—TWO persons were beheaded at Eziagulu Otu, near
the embattled Orient Petroleum Resources Ltd in Anambra
East Local Government Area yesterday by armed men
suspected to be from Ibaji in Kogi State, who allegedly
attacked the people in their farms.
Four others, who sustained injuries have been admitted at a
private hospital in Onitsha.
The attack came barely 24 hours after members of Board of
Directors of Orient Petroleum informed Governor Willie
Obiano of Anambra State, during a visit, that the company
had acquired two new wells in Aguleri and would increase
its crude oil production to 3,000 barrels per day in
September.
Vanguard gathered that the attackers, who were armed to
the teeth, took the farmers unawares and as many of them
ran into the river, the attackers caught six of them, killing
two and injuring four.
As the news of the attack reached the people of Aguleri in
the upland, all those whose relations went to farm became
worried. Shortly after, the victims were brought him.
At press time, it could not be ascertained if some people in
the area were still missing.
SOS
One of the distress messages sent to Vanguard during the
attack read: “Information reaching our town indicates that
Kogi people are attacking Eziagulu Otu and Enugu Otu in
several groups and are about to overrun the area and the oil
field facilities there.”
Another message from the President General of Aguleri
read: “Eziagulu Otu is currently under siege by our Kogi
neighbours.
“I am informed that serious fighting is going on and
casualties have been recorded. We are at a disadvantage
under their superior fire power. The situation is bad.”
Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hosea Karma,
confirmed the incident, saying his men and the Kogi State
Police Command had stepped in to stop further clash. |
