One Darlington Chidume Odume popularly known as Omekagu, a legal practitioner, has been killed by suspected gunmen in Imo State.



Odume, whose wife was said to be a serving police officer, was called to bar about five years ago. He was shot dead around 4 pm on Wednesday.

His death came barely two days after an Anglican Priest, Rev. Emeka Merenu was murdered at his parsonage in Iheteukwa, Orsu council area of the state by yet to be identified persons.

The Guardian also gathered from a reliable source that the assailants shot Odume in front of a supermarket at Umudara Amaifeke Orlu, Orlu Local Government Area of the state.

It was also gathered that the late Odume was a renowned legal practitioner in Orlu, who was handling some of the cases of those arrested in connection with the violence rocking the area.

According to the source, “the victim who was rushed to a hospital in the area, but was rejected and referred to the Imo State University Teaching Hospital, Orlu, gave up the ghost on the way to the teaching hospital.



“They stormed a supermarket at Umudara Amaifeke, Orlu and shot him on the chest and zoomed off.

“He was rushed to a hospital in the area but they rejected him, referring them to the Imo State University Teaching Hospital, Orlu but he died along the way.

“Omekagu was handling some of the cases of those arrested and believed to be innocent due to the violence in Orlu. His wife is a police officer.

“The entire community has been thrown into mourning,” the source stated.

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Michael Abattam confirmed the incident to our correspondent.
He said the state Commissioner of Police, Hussaini Rabiu has ordered a full scare investigation into the incident.

“The Commissioner of Police has already detailed the Commissioner of Police in charge of CID to do a full-blown investigation into the matter and to apprehend those behind the act,” Abattam said.

Imo state is becoming or has become a war zone. Since the Supreme Court governor came into power, Imo state has no peace again. What a country rule by unfortunate people.

The chicken has come home to roost ...

Xscape1993:
Imo

Ever since they gave us ESN

Ipob terrorist again.

He might have crossed the enemies line

R. I. P.

This is what would have become of Rivers State if not for Governor Wike's foresightedness.
One of the best qualities of a good leader is being proactive.

RIP. Rest on.

IPOB is a peaceful organization under Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

UGM not IPOB/ESN.

The Yorubas say that it's easy to start a fight, but how and when it will end remain unknown.

Boko Haram started like a joke in Maiduguri. Today, everyone is cashing out of it as it has become a monster. I just hope IPOB and ESN don't destroy a once peaceful Imo State.

RIP to the lawyer.

IpobHaram doing what they know best

So because you want to discredit ESN,that's why you and your group is killing and causing trouble in East?



And you always have videos of the scene,we will wait for videos of how this lawyer was killed.





ESN have come to stay.

I met this lawyer when I was at the Law School at Enugu. He had just been called to the Bar and came to help a relation with the registration procedure for the new session. This is sad.

Wike is so so so proactive. Only once ESN operated in Rivers the rest was history

This blood soaked human destruction and calamity is the talibanBIAFRA.

They are yet to kill one Hausa Fulani, but they've slaughtered countless igbo people.

Is this lunacy really against Hausa Fulani of the total violent subjugation, enslavement and repressive control of their own people.

This is madly crazy..

Anytime i hear unknown gunmen in IMO STATE i know that the despirate Man in IMO STATE and his security agent wants to start their again.

What about UGM in Abia, Enugu, Anambra and Ebonyi? Is your imaginary desperate man in Imo also responsible for those too?


You ipobs just can not make sense for 1 kobo..

Kai!
Wetin i wan tlk sef?? This day just keeps getting badder for Okoro's.

Is it umahi calling the chief fulani terrorist hin papa?
Or
Their messaih FFK joining the terrorist ewedu and amala fulani party?

Or Is it their over grown terrorists outfit that's butchering them like sallah cows?

On another note : it seems its dss fulani agents that killed him...this is all propaganda, all is well with the yeast.

It was also gathered that the late Odume was a renowned legal practitioner in Orlu, who was handling some of the cases of those arrested in connection with the violence rocking the area.

He was likely killed because of the above, killing those who come in defence of the innocent being tagged IPOB/ESN here and there. Evil government.

Your propaganda no get part two, this is done by you and the govt funded assassination squads, this lawyer is helping to free arrested ipobs and innocent victims of nig. Govt brutality.
But you are here to spin everything to ESN without any evidence backing your claims..

I dare you to produce solid evidence than working for your pocket running propaganda sponsored by the APC administration.

All this started the moment APC got to the east..
Nigga in fact you dense.

Good bless him.
