Suspected Ebubeagu operatives invade Imo community, burn properties

Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lead counsel to IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has alleged that men of the Ebubeagu security outfit invaded Orsu-Ihiteukwa a community in Orsu Local Government Area of Imo State and burnt homes and businesses.

He shared a video on social media showing the level of destruction perpetrated by the outfit as revealed by an eyewitness.

Ejiofor wrote, “According to verifiable and credible eyewitness accounts, this hitherto peaceful community was this weekend, invaded by the combined team of Governor Hope Uzodinma’s Ebubeagu Security outfit and the Nigerian Army.

“It is heart-rending that at this period of economic downturn, the only available daily market in the community, where the downtrodden go to for communal trade, in search of their daily bread was completely razed to the ground, and homes burnt by these evil monsters acting on behalf of the state Government.

“Indigenes of the community were thrown into this unexpected horror, and out of fear, they have fled from their very own ancestral homes. Right now, Orsu-Ihiteukwa is a ghost town.

“We are asking the Governor of Imo state – could there be any justification, whatsoever, under any known law in Nigeria, as well as the international jurisprudence, that sanctioned this oppressive, barbaric, wicked, soulless and evil destruction of the lives and properties of his own people that he swore to protect?

“Was it an engagement strategy, envisaged, permitted and consequently, sanctioned within the Operational Rules of Engagement of the Nigerian Security Agents? The answer is capital NO.”
