THE PEOPLE DID NOT EVEN ELECT HIM FOR HIM TO BE KILLING THEM

Three persons were killed on Tuesday when troops of the Nigerian Army invaded Orsu-Ihiteukwa, a community in Orsu Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria’s South-east.

The incident happened at about 12 p.m.

The troops, operating in armoured vehicles, were said to have opened fire on residents.

Many residents, mainly the youth, have fled the community due to the invasion, PREMIUM TIMES learnt.

A resident of the community, Chidi Ibekaeme, told this newspaper that the soldiers have been attacking the community since September, 2021.

He said the troops carried out the attacks under the guise of launching an onslaught against suspected members of Eastern Security Network (ESN), the militant wing of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

During the Tuesday attack, two of the victims identified as, Ugochukwu Obianeli and Nonso, were killed while they were molding cement blocks in the community, he said.

One other victim, a yet-to-be-identified elderly man, was shot on his legs by the troops at Eke Ututu Market in the community, according to sources from the community.

It was gathered that the victim, who sold electrical materials in the market, could not run like others when the troops stormed the community.

He died Wednesday morning due to complications from gunshot injuries.

Mr Ibekaeme said one of the victims, Mr Obianeli, is his brother-in-law, whose new wife gave birth in eight months ago.

He said although there are suspected ESN members in bushes, the community members were not aware, because they have never attacked residents of the community.
