Chaos erupted in Obosi, Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State, as Chidebe Ibeakuzie, popularly known as “Mighty,” a youth leader, was shot dead in a violent confrontation between Obosi youths and security operatives.

The clash was over the control of a tricycle park near the military cantonment in Onitsha.

During the confrontation, two Obosi youths were reportedly abducted, and several tricycle operators and passers-by sustained gunshot wounds.

The unrest stemmed from a heated dispute between the family of the late Tochukwu Anyaoku, an Obosi native, and Hon. Edward Ibuzo, a former member of the Anambra State House of Assembly representing Onitsha North 1 Constituency.

According to sources, the late Anyaoku had leased the tricycle park before his death last year, with his wife taking over its management.

However, Hon. Ibuzo allegedly laid claim to the land, sparking a bitter standoff.

Obosi youths accused Ibuzo of orchestrating the attack by engaging operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), whom they claim were responsible for the fatal shooting of Mighty.

Ibuzo denied any involvement, stating via a WhatsApp call to journalists that he was in Germany at the time of the incident.

He alleged that DSS operatives had intervened after witnessing a suspected kidnapping, which led to an exchange of gunfire.

Chief Omezie Chukwurah, a prominent Obosi stakeholder, lamented the escalating violence, revealing that previous police interventions had led to another Obosi youth being shot in the head.

He further alleged that the operatives who killed Mighty arrived in vehicles linked to Ibuzo.

The traditional ruler of Obosi, Igwe Chidubem Iweka III, expressed concern over the potential resurgence of historical land disputes between Onitsha and Obosi if the situation is not handled properly.

Meanwhile, the President General of the Obosi Development Union (ODU), Barrister Chimezie Obi, refuted claims of a land dispute, insisting that the conflict was about an Onitsha man forcefully taking over a business belonging to an Obosi man.

He emphasised that the primary issue was the killing of a young Obosi leader who was defending his community’s rights.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, stated that he was not yet aware of the incident.

The killing has heightened tensions in the area, with residents calling for swift government intervention to prevent further bloodshed.

U no get sense aswear. Not to understand what he wrote. Secondly, He's d Op. He brought d news here and u rushed without understanding his intent to make him less.

Must they kill themselves? Nsobu nsobu mentality....

I always say that always try to be alive no matter what. Now this one is dead. The politician now claims to be in Germany, like he can't be there an order chaos, in fact, that has always been the scripts of politicians. Same way tinubu ordered the killings of people at lekki toll gate and said he was not in the country.

Actions were meant to have consequences, however, that is not the case with Nigeria, so politicians are having a field day.

For people that will be shouting "agbero", this is pure land dispute, and it has been claiming lives since day one, irrespective of the tribe and location.

Quite unusual,this is the kind of news that you only hear of in South west,I hope this unfortunate APC government is not bringing in this foreign culture to Igbo land.Just they way the exported this culture of motor park touting(agberoism)to Abuja.
The earlier ndigbo stamps there authority against this yoruba culture the better for us. we cant have government patronised celebrated notorious thugs like MC Oluomo and Auxiliary in our space,atleast we are known for our civility.

How can millionaires be fighting on top keke?

Typical igbo clown! Accuse everyone of your criminality without looking inwards! Always blaming everyone for your Misfortunes

Cowards!!

The DSS or fake DSS should be rounded up. Being called to shoot on civil matters. What again is the function of this DSS?

Jamb results issue, u see DSS or efcc, meanwhile terrorists, bandits & Co are having a field day at every nook & cranny of this country, killing, maiming, kidnapping, demanding ransoms & collecting them ... DSS: na wetin be una fundamental responsibility: to be called upon by civilians & perhaps paid to do nasty jobs?

Agbero in Obodo Oyinbo Onisha where all of dem are millionares. Na lie
Their Agbero na conc Agbero sef

It happened at Obosi.
Obisi is not Onitsha..
Obosi is a separate town from Onitsha. Just Google..
Tribune and other South-West media companies should stop the wreckless and INTENTIONAL badmouthing of Eastern cities/people/businesses.
Advertise and praise your South West businesses and cities, but don't do so by bringing down other peoples cities and businesses..
It is evil

Billionaires dey use tricycle too!

We all know that Obidients are miscreants 🤷
