Gunmen Attacks Ngbo Amaka Village In Ebonyi State
Gunmen attacks a village in Ebonyi State, Ngbo Amaka village in Ngbo, killing a 48 year old man who was a native in that village. This incident was confirmed and released on Wednesday by the State Police Public Relations Officer.
The Officer, Joshua Ukandu has contacted the Ohaukwu Police Divisional Headquarters and deported a team for immediate investigation. He states that there aren’t full details on the incident yet but the information will surely be revealed soon but the team sent out.
A statement was given by one of the locals stating the man he was shot twice by the gunmen who hid themselves in disguise. “Immediately I heard the gunshot, I rushed out from the back and one of them grabbed me, collected my phone and was dragging me to the house but as God will have it, I freed myself from him and ran to the nearby compound.”
“As a result of the gunshot, most of the residents of the area all scampered for safety, leaving him and the hoodlums. After the shooting him, the hoodlums set him ablaze inside the house and zoomed off.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
