Armed men set ESN Member's Siblings Houses Ablaze
In the early hours of Saturday 12th February 2022, Umuonyeoka a Quiet and Peaceful Community in Ihitteafoukwu Town was ruffled with a Seemingly Gestapo style of invasion by armed men suspected to be Law enforcement agents, Who came in 7 Cars shooting sporadically and headed to the compound of the Madus', it was alleged that they came to apprehend one Mr Uche Madu who is alleged to be a member of the ESN group but when they couldn't get him, all hell was let loose and they descended on the Country home of his Siblings Sonyval and Chinonso Madu which they set ablaze without allowing even a single pin to be evacuated from the building.
While I do not condone any indigene of Ihitteafoukwu Land to be involved with any unlawful act or criminal activities, it is still pertinent to state that the invasion and Arson perpetrated in our land today is highly condemnable and Ill-advised.
In an era where Security matters and investigation are handled and unravelled by Intelligence gathering, the resort to Arson by supposed Law Enforcement Agents can best be described as an Affront and Highly Unlawful.
In recent times Imo State have continued to make Screaming Headlines in both Local and International media for the wrong reasons. it is therefore incumbent on the State Governor H.E..Sen. Hope Uzodinma who is also the Chief Security Officer of the State to rise up to the Challenge and ensure that such incidents like the Ihitteafoukwu Invasion that exposes the Security Volatility of the State is nipped in the bud.
Ihitteafoukwu remains a Peaceful Town and it's Indigenes have always been known to for their Patriotism and Law Abiding Nature.
I therefore call on the State Government to without delay unravel those behind Saturday's invasion of Ihitteafoukwu Land with a view to bringing them to book as well as forestalling a future recurrence of this unlawful act.
