Recently, the good people of Eziorsu Autonomous Community in Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State went had gone to the street crying to the Rescue Mission government led by Gov. Rochas Okorocha on the alleged ill-treatment they get from their traditional ruler, His Royal Highness, Igwe Victor Ijeoma whom they described as the Nebuchadnezzar of this era.
According to an indigene, who did not want his name on print, Igwe Ijeoma ordered his body guards to cut Mr. Chigaezu Igeru, Mazuwa Igeru, Amobi Ukado, Okechukwu Ukado and others who names are yet to be identified over land tussle in Obiofia which he said belongs to late Okorochukwu the grandfather of the victims.
The source narrated that the trouble started when Mr Chigaezu, Mazuwa, Amobi, Okechukwu and others went into the land to look for timbers which they will cut and sell in order to make ends meet and were intercepted by the traditional ruler who ordered them to leave the place as he claimed that the land belong to him, and when they refused to leave, Igwe Ijeoma ordered his body guards to butcher them, of which many of them sustained injuries and were hospitalized.
It added that Igwe Ijeoma has always been fond of grabbing land in the community and whenever there is resistance, he will do everything within his power to ensure that the person does not go free, as such he has kept the entire community in fear.
The source further stated that after the butchering of his subjects, he also went to the military men operating in the localities to pick them for the arrest of his victims who are in the hospital but the military men rebuked him for the wicked act.
It was gathered that the reason why Igwe Ijeoma is acting the way he is acting is because the community have wanted to lodge complain against him on the allege selling of their five transformers and other financial misappropriations.
