Gunmen have abducted 10 persons and killed one other in Amaigbo, Nwangele Local Government Area of Imo State to unknown destination. But police gave the number of victims as only four.
Daily Sun gathered that the incident occurred at the Eke Ukwu Market Square where the town union executives of Amaigbo Progressive Union (APU) assembled to discuss the burial arrangement of their traditional ruler, Eze Nwosu, who passed on recently. The meeting, according to a report, comprised both members resident at home and other parts of the country. According to the report, the said gunmen alighted from their Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) and fired some gun shots into the air before abducting their victims.
While trying to escape, a middle aged man whose vehicle mistakenly blocked their exit was reportedly shot dead. Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Linus Nwaiwu, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) told Daily Sun that only four persons were abducted during the town hall meeting and that the police is closing in on the hoodlums.

when will Nigeria insecurity end? we said that we have security all over but there's no security. new members are been recruited over and over again and the result is always the same. there is not need air fresher when the rotten eggs has not been removed. the best way to get security in Nigeria is by removing all the formal rotten eggs and and bring new and fresh guys that have not been corrupted that much because i know that 9ja don't really good once for now and train them into those offices and watch what happens. Police security my yash. Good example of uniform robbers, killers and whatever u can call them. they are typically good for nothing.
