…Natives seek Uzodinma’s intervention.
Despite heavy security personnel around the
Egbema Production Center of some oil companies at Obiakpu Autonomous
Community in Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo State, bandits are said to have taken over the Ukwugba area of the community.
The indigenes Ukwugba are said to be presently homeless as
many have packed their belongings to neighboring communities where they are seeking
refuge.
The incident is said to have been taking place for about two weeks.
The indigene have therefore called on
Governor Hope Uzodinma to urgently intervene.
According to Chief Ndubueze Nwokoma who is the Eze-elect of the community, “around the Egbema Production Center, the Nigeria Army has their duty post, the Nigeria Police Force has station which is some meters
away from this post, and the Nigeria Civil Defense and Security Corps
NCDSC are always on patrol in the localities, including the DSS and the vigilantees, yet there are alleged incessant killings in
Ukwugba for the past two weeks.
He said that there are emerging indications tend to suggest that the bandits operate close to area where these heavy security outfits are stationed.
The Eze-elect therefore opined that since there is need for Governor Uzodinma to beef up the security in Obiakpu Autonomous Community,
especially, the Ukwugba area, more crack teám of security personnel be drafted to the area.
