About three people were feared dead weekend in Imo State as armed
gangsters suspected to be kidnappers stormed the rural Orogwe and Ogbaku
communities in Owerri West and Mbaitoli local council areas.
The incidents came barely a few days after armed robbers stormed the
Mbari Street branch of a first generation bank, bombed the Automated
Teller Machine, carted away the money in it and shot four staff of the
bank.
Vanguard equally gathered that the hoodlums kidnapped a lady and her
two brothers, who returned from the United States of America to bury
their mother this week.
It was also gathered that hoodlums suspected to be assassins trailed
one Mr. Charles Udochukwu Okpe, to Orogwe where they finally silenced
him.
The identities of the other slain persons were not known at press
time but a villager who preferred anonymity, disclosed that the owner of
Impetus filling station and a retired army captain, Emmanuel Iheanacho,
was among those kidnapped by the armed hoodlums.
When Vanguard visited Orogwe and Ogbaku communities, people were seen
in groups discussing the tragedy that befell their respective
communities, as well as bemoaned the deteriorating security situation in
the state.
