Community Mourns As Gunmen Kill Five In Anambra by NaijaCover(op): 7:45pm On Oct 08, 2024
Nawfia community in Njikoka local government area of Anambra State was on Sunday, October 6th, 2024, thrown into mourning after the brazen actions of men of the underworld, regionally known as gunmen, killed five persons in the town.

According to the community’s President General, Chief Daniel Okoye, who disclosed this in a statement he signed and made available to journalists in Awka on Tuesday, narrated that the criminals came into the town and opened fire on innocent and defenceless citizens, killing five. Many people were also injured, including a small child.

“The Victims include two indigenes, Samuel Onyebuchi Nnatuanya (26 years old) and Chukwuebuka Ifeanyichukwu Nwonukwue (29 years old). Both hail from Adagbe Mmimi village, Nawfia.

The three other victims lived in Nawfia. One was from Ukwulu, one was from Ebonyi State, and the last victim was from the northern region of the country.

“From early investigations, it was found that around 8:00 PM on Sunday, a Lexus RX and a Toyota Sienna came to the Umukwa-Umuriam axis of the town and opened fire on the unsuspecting youths before speeding away. An AK-47 and a shotgun were used in the cowardly attack.

The leadership of Nawfia mourns their kin who were senselessly murdered in the prime of their lives. They also bemoan the killings of their residents, who had deemed Nawfia a place worth inhabiting. Nawfia Progressive Union and town leaders will do everything in their power to expose the animals who did this.

We also urge calm and patience from our people. Many stories and theories have been formed despite a lack of evidence to prove them. As of now, there is no indication that the killers were sent from a neighbouring town.

“There’s also no proof to support that the murders were cult-related. We will not rule out any party at this point and will not jump to any conclusions. We plead with Ndi Nawfia and the general public to do the same.

“We call on the Nigerian Police to do a proper and thorough investigation. So far, their response and approach have been inadequate. They should do all in their power to seek out and apprehend these serial killers and bring peace back to our environs,” the statement concluded.

Is there a deliberate attempt here to always post bad news about this state? I'm not trying to create an issue but this is like the only type of news we do get here about this state?

Government can’t help those who are not ready for help.

It’s one thing to accept your mistakes, conclude you need help and ask for it.

It’s another thing to blame others for your mistakes and feel too arrogant to ask for help.

No. But is that the only story in the state? Or is this more like a perfect story for traffic?
Re: Community Mourns As Gunmen Kill Five In Anambra by ChiefJusticeFuc: 7:57pm On Oct 08, 2024
You see these Ibo people ehn!

From the Anambra State Police preliminary report issued yesterday ,Monday , the police established that the killings were cult related.

The Police based their preliminary conclusion from members of the community who stated that the men killed were notorious cultists in the community who met their deaths at the hands of another rival group.

But here we have the community PG (or whatever that is) saying the deceased were innocent young men killed without malice or prejudice.

These people are not in any way ready at all.
