He said that the NSCDC personnel were riding in a vehicle when they were ambushed and killed by their attackers, while noting that security operatives had taken over the community.It was gathered that the lifeless bodies of the victims were still at the scene as of the time of filing this report.

The source said, “Three operatives of the NSCDC were killed last night at EkeIsu market in Obiangwu Community in the Ngor Okpala LGA of Imo State. They were ambushed while in their vehicle. Their bodies have not been evacuated as we speak. Soldiers have taken over the community.” But when contacted, the spokesperson for the police in the state, Henry Okoye, who confirmed the killing of the three NSCDC personnel, said security operatives had moved into the community and restored normalcy.All rights reserved.

Years back, I undertook the mandatory NYSC year in Ngor-Okpala LGA, in Umuohiagu Secondary School, bordering Umuorisha which is close to the Sam Mbakwe Airport. For a nonindigene, I felt so much at home, perhaps too much. It is quite sad to read this about this beloved place.

Herdsmen should stop it

May their souls rest in perfect peace while God will give the families the fortitude to bear the losses.

Hopeless Uzodinjo is on it again.
