Keep looking for Bad news in Anambra, that's your only use.

Late on Friday, chaos erupted at the Science Equipment Market, Onitsha Bridgehead in Anambra, as members of the Anambra State Anti-Touting Squad reportedly shot one person dead and injured several others.

It was gathered that trouble started at the market when the operatives invaded the area in search of someone who was said to have urinated in a restricted area and ran into the market for cover.

Eyewitnesses said the operatives shot indiscriminately for over two hours while in the market resulting in the traders scampering to safety, leading to destruction and looting of people’s goods.

When PUNCH correspondent visited the scene on Saturday, one of the traders who simply identified himself as Okonkwo said, “Yesterday, was a black Friday in this market, the operatives killed a man simply because he urinated along the Onitsha-Asaba Expressway.

“After urinating, the boy ran into the market as the operatives chased him. When they entered the market, they started shooting. This caused pandemonium in the market as many sellers and buyers in the market sustained severe injuries while scampering to safety.

“Stray bullets hit two people who were rushed to the hospital after they had left. The victims sell drugs at Ogboogwu market. People’s goods were also destroyed and looted. They sealed our toilets and started collecting money from anyone they saw who urinated outside. This is the cause of the problem.”

When contacted, the Anambra State Police Command’s spokesman, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the incident, adding that the state Commissioner of Police, Aderemi Adeoye, has ordered a probe into the development.

“The Commissioner of Police, CP Adeoye has ordered the immediate transfer of a reported murder incident that happened at the head bridge market by 4:30 pm, on Friday.

“Our officers led by the DPO head bridge, on receipt of the information, moved to the scene and saw a young man in a pool of blood while another was injured.

“The victims were rushed to the hospital where the doctor confirmed one dead. The police also recovered six expended cartridges from the scene. Further details shall be communicated, please,” Ikenga added.

In a related event in December 2023, there was pandemonium along the Onitsha-Owerri Road by Obodoukwu Junction, Onitsha, Anambra State, when a stray bullet from some gun-wielding men wearing black jackets suspected to be operatives of the Anambra State Anti-touts Agency killed a young man.

It was gathered that the victim identified as Chimezie from Achina, Aguata Local Government Area of the state, was standing at the balcony of his residence by the Shoe Site, near Okpoko Police Station, in Ogbaru Local Government Area, when the stray bullet hit him.

He was said to have just completed his mandatory one-year national service then.

A video showing a large crowd of people chanting "Ebi npalu" (there’s hunger in the community) at the front of the palace of the Emir of Ilọrin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, has gone viral on social media, causing alarm and anger among the residents of the city.

The video, which is only 26 seconds long, was purportedly taken recently, amid the economic challenges facing the country. However, some residents have questioned the veracity of the video, noting that it resembles a similar protest that took place in Niger State and other parts of the country a few weeks ago.

One of the residents, Alhaji Oba Daudu, who lives near the palace, told Daily Trust that he did not witness any such protest at the palace. He said he was shocked and confused when he saw the video online, and he rushed home to confirm the situation. He said he found nothing unusual at the palace, and he accused the makers of the video of being "dubious and evil" for creating panic in the polity.

According to Daily Post, the Emir of Ilọrin, who is also the Chairman of Kwara State Traditional Rulers Council, has reacted to the video, saying that it was a false and misleading representation of the reality. He said the video was actually from the events leading up to the 2019 general elections in the state, when some political parties staged rallies and demonstrations at the palace.

The Emir, through his spokesman, Mallam Abdulazeez Arowona, called for calm and urged the public to disregard the video. He said the video was aimed at tarnishing the image of the palace and the state, and he advised the people to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.

Do you want the vendors to stay away from where they meet most of their customers?

What I suggest is that the drunk noisemakers that crowd Newspaper stands and display their ignorance for hours be banned or arrested. But for the vendors themselves, let them be, provided they don't station their stands on the road or on pedestrial lanes.
