IGBOPROMISE1:
Looks promising! Though wish it could have been located on the outskirts of the city to have adequate space for the different attractions and so vehicular and human traffic could be managed more easily!

Bestmanfornow:
Take that advice to the governor of the useless state you came from

Basiljoe:
Why are Ebonyi state people always envious of Anambra people?

Growing up, I heard elderly folks comment on this a lot, I thought it was stereotype, but now I'm older i noticed it's not far from the truth.

vanbonattel:
This is your grand plan, you are the killers.

vanbonattel:
Sponsored attack to sell the sponsored news on Lagos Ibadan expressway media.

Are you intentionally killing people in Nigeria to draw the attention of Peter Obi?

Communities in Anambra Central Senatorial Zone are in tension as gunmen said to be enforcing the outlawed sit-at-home order wreaked havoc on Monday morning.


DAILY POST gathered that the attacks which happened between 8am and 10am in Abatete, Abagana and Ukpo left no fewer than five persons dead.

A source told our correspondent that the casualties were mainly men of the Anambra Vigilante services.


The first attack was said to have happened in Abatete town, targeting vigilant personnel attached to the town’s President-General (PG).

Three security men were shot and killed in the hail of bullets.

The PG was also said to have been critically injured and rushed to a nearby hospital.


In separate incidents, the gunmen attacked Abagana and Ukpo communities.

At the Ukpo roundabout, in Dunukofia Local Government Area of the state, one Vigilante Group member and a motorcycle rider were said to have been killed.

Terrified members of communities around Anambra Central have been sent into panic.

A voice note circulating on social media warned people in Awka not to venture outside, considering the proximity of the attacked communities to Awka, the state capital.

A member of the Abatete community stated that: “We are praying for the recovery of our PG. This senseless violence has left our community shaken.”

Another member of the Ukpo community stated on Facebook: “It was chaos. The attackers came out of nowhere, shooting indiscriminately. Shouting no Biafra, no freedom. We are still trying to process what happened.”

When DAILY POST reached out to police authorities in the state, the spokesperson, SP said: “The details are still sketchy, but our operatives are currently at the scene. I will get back to you with facts as soon as I can.”

SavageResponse:
Ebubu you this Abakaliki boy how many accounts do you have on Nairaland?!

DamnnNiggarr:


This Man!
Are you sure you're from Ebonyi State as you always claim?

Because, I've been noticing your immense hatred for Anambra and Peter Obi for quite some time, where's "YOUR PEOPLE" see Anambra as their second home.

Why the so much hatred on a state that has provided shelter for your people?

Ooni:
so the topic of a random grave in Ibo land is more important that myriads of terrible issues afflicting us here in West?

Cindypresh:
Because a corpse was buried?? So for your family and extended family nobody has died and was buried since this year??

All the organ harvesters arrested last month including Alfas are not enough crime for you to get worried about Ogun state?

Skvll miners nko?? No be crime? Get a life olaniyi

Ooni:
when will you begin to acknowledge our common Yoruba heritage? You are abandoning us to focus needlessly on Ibo issues.

Cindypresh:
Get a life olaniyi

There was panic around the construction site of the “Light of the Nation” tower in Ekwulobia, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State, on Saturday, when a fresh female corpse was found by the workers.

The construction of the tower, located not far away from the Ekwulobia bridge, aims to carry the wording, “Light of the Nation,” which is the emblem of Anambra State and to beautify the environs.

No one could ascertain the exact date and why the corpse was buried, but our correspondent gathered that it was unearthed by the construction workers during their activities.

The construction of the Ekwulobia bridge and road dualisation are parts of Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s initiative of building a smart mega city in Anambra.


A source in the area, who identified himself as Uche said, “The unearthed corpse which appeared to be recently buried, caused panic in the area when it was discovered as residents and a large crowd trooped to the scene to see if it’s someone they could identify.

“The incident raised questions about the identity of the victim and the circumstances surrounding her death. Although some people who recognised the corpse said the husband of the woman passed away about five years ago.

“Within minutes, a large crowd had gathered at the scene, with many expressing shock and curiosity.”

Further enquiries showed that community leaders in the area had been informed, and a report had likely been filed at the police.

However, every attempt to get the reactions of the construction workers proved abortive as they declined to comment on the development.

But as of Sunday when our correspondent visited the scene, a large crowd was still hanging around the scene of the discovery.

When contacted, the state Commissioner for Environment, Felix Odumegwu, directed our correspondent to the Chairman of Aguata Local Government Area, Dr Chibueze Ofobuike.

And when also contacted, he simply said, “Yes. The commissioner has just informed us and our men are being mobilised to the scene to ascertain the development and possible evacuation of the corpse.”

The state police spokesman, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, did not respond to enquiries as of the time of filing this report.

"To commence December 2024?"

Can you remind us when the Airport was built nwa Abakaliki?

temisartana:
How much are you being paid for being busy defending failure.

Airport is not the priority of the people of Ebonyi state now. It's just a plore to siphon public funds. Stop defending trash

Nnamdipapa:
What about Ebonyi abandoned white elephants project of an airport the fraud Umahi built?
