First Hand Information On What
Happened At Anambra State
Yesterday.
As Ejike Ofoegbu Arrived
Anambra From Aba
Please over look the police
report, Ejike Ofoegbu said
Loveth Gift narrated:
"We all were in the church during
the 6am morning mass today, we
saw two cars that drove into the
church; because it was a Church
premises we over looked it and
we considered them to be
people that came for morning
mass(service). But to the surprise
of everyone, the car halted at the
center of the gate, meaning you
cannot close the gate, since it is
open already.
"The driver came out of the car
pretending he was fixing a
problem; so everyone still
ignored the drama happening
outside the premises.
"Suddenly, some men came out
from the car, fully armed, all in
Army uniform. I was lucky
because I was sitting at the back,
just beside the door, but I was
clearly seeing what was
happening. The sky was cloudy
and everywhere seemed dark; no
one saw what they were
carrying, whether it was gun, but
surely they were fully equipped.
"They immediately rushed to the
front door. I was too lucky to
jump the fence, but before I had
jumped, I heard gun shot
everywhere in the building. They
obstructed the front gate,
because for women that is their
only route to escape. That was
why women were killed more
than men. Children were killed as
well, many were seriously
injured.
"After I had escaped, I started
making calls to link my church
members who were in the
church, but they were not
picking up; not knowing they
were dead already.
The gun men were not igbos,
because their language were not
igbo, the government should
stop lying, I heard they said That,
they gun Men were flashing
touch light on us, but it a lie,
because the whole church was
so lighted that even from outside
you will see who is inside. Even
at that, if they were really
flashing touch light to know who
is their target, those that were
killed, are they their target.
Like I said before and I will say it
again, I was at the back door, I
saw all that happened, they were
with Army uniform, face covered,
standing at the Front door,
holding their trigger, and
shooting at anything that moves.
When the police came, I was
waiting for them to ask
questions of what happened, so
that I will explain, but they were
busy taking pictures of the dead
ones, without knowing the fact
"Not too long after they had
gone, I went back to the church.
I was shocked with what I saw;
my Mother was lying dead! Many
people were unconscious but
later succumbed to death.
"After about one hour of the
killings, the Police arrived the
church. Two hours later, the
Governor, Willie Obiano arrived
too. Everyone was shocked,
wandering how the perpetrators
stormed in Army uniform.
Questions began to arise: "Who
gave them the Army uniform?"
Who gave them the Army car?"
Surely jihad is here, and everyone
have to defend him/her self.
A woman who still survived the
mayhem said, "All I could
remember is that I was sitting at
the front when some people in
Army uniform invaded the
Church and started shooting at
everyone. They just held the
trigger and fired at everyone
they sighted. I managed to hide
under the seat but was shot in
the leg.
"A boy was shot in head, his
brain bursted, and blood spilled
everywhere - even at my face."

GreatNegro: Kindly shut up ur smelling mouth. Enuff of all these topics The citizens of Ozubulu know what the root cause of the tragedy is. And for your information Ofoegbu family are from Egbema Ozubulu no family in Ofufe Amakwa or Umuotutu (the neighboring kindred) bears such a Surname. If you make caricature of the lives lost yesterday again I will place a curse on u and ur entire lineage. 3 Likes 1 Share |

hardywaltz: so you're saying there's no ofoegbu family living close or any ofoegbu family member that was standing close to the church at any given time? or an ofoegbo member is banned from going to amakwa or Umuotutu, if northerners and westerners stay in Anambra so someone who bears Ofoegbu can not stay close or stand close to where the shooting happened. |
