Unknown gunmen kill Imo ruler, three others, police launch investigation

Following the alleged shooting deaths of three other people, including Ignatius Asor, the leader of the Ubudi Agwa community in the Oguta local government area, and three other people, the police command in Imo has issued a calm call.

On Tuesday in Owerri, the command's spokesman, Mike Abatam, released a statement that included this information.

Four people were slain, including Mr Asor, when gunmen attacked the Obudi Agwa hamlet on Monday.

“Preliminary investigation reveals that hoodlums came in four vehicles and two motorcycles in the company of a woman. They also killed three other persons, including a member of a local vigilance group in the area,” stated the police. “The gunmen disguised themselves as persons in distress pretending to report an emergency situation to the traditional ruler.”

He assured the community and the general public that the investigation had begun and the command would leave no stone unturned until the perpetrators were arrested and made to face the full wrath of the law.

”The police seek the support of members of the community to provide credible information or report any clandestine activities in their communities,” stated the police’s spokesman.

President Muhammadu Buhari directed security agencies in the state to investigate the dastardly act and ensure that the perpetrators face the full wrath of the law.
