Ajuomiwe.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThe Ebubeagu security people arrested and brutally tortured Nnaogo to death over a minor disagreement with Engr. Ajuomiwe.\u00a0 The youths are not happy with the killing of Nnago and how the Ebubeagu people used machete to cut all parts of his body. We decided to march to the chairman\u2019s house to inform him of what happened and that the government should order Ebubeagu to stop killing our youths. It was a peaceful march, we were waving green leaves, and there was no violence. Immediately we marched into the chairman\u2019s house, it was like he got information that the youths were coming, he shot a gun into the crowd which hit Elueke and he died, others were injured others. Many youths ran away,\u201d the sources said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The sources also disclosed that news of Elueke\u2019s death from the shots fired by the chairman caused outrage in the Akaeze community who were still mourning the killing of Nnaogo by the Ebubeagu security outfit. Within few minutes of the incident, the chairman\u2019s residence and a filling station belonging to him were said to have been torched by irate youths.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Over 10 youths are said to be receiving medical attention at different clinics at Akaeze and neigbouring Mpu community in Enugu state following injuries they sustained in the attack.\u00a0 The crisis is said to have taken a partisan dimension as the late Nnaogo was a member of the PDP while Engr. Ajuomiwe belongs to the APC, even as the Ebubeagu operatives are alleging showing bias against members of the opposition parties in the community.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Pointblanknews.com further gathered that soldiers who had been drafted to restore peace have worsened the problem by working with the Ebubeagu security outfit in manhandling innocent residents of the community.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Efforts to get the reaction of the Police Public Relations Officer, Ebonyi State, Mrs Loveth Odah, were not successful as she did not respond to calls placed on her telephone.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tragedy struck in Akaeze community, Ivo LGA,Ebonyi State,\u00a0 yesterday, as the Chairman of the Local Government Area, Mr. Onyebuchi Ogbadu, allegedly shot dead a youth and injured others who were&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":91112,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-91110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
