EKO HOT BLOG reports that unknown gunmen have attacked the Amorka community in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State, and reportedly set fifteen shops, several trucks, and vehicles ablaze.
Amorka is a border town to Imo State, which is a trekkable distance to most communities in Imo State.
According to DAILY POST, the hoodlums, numbering over 10, shot all through Thursday night, while shops in the area were looted in the confusion that ensued.
“The shooting caused pandemonium as residents and travellers abandoned their shops and vehicles to scamper for safety.
“The shooting caused heavy gridlock that stretched from Amorka to Mgbidi and Awo-Omma in Imo State.
“In the confusion, several shops were looted by hoodlums. Some people say they are IPOB members who were protesting that their leader, Nnamdi Kanu was not released, despite a court order,” a source said.
Another source claimed that the hoodlums also dropped sheets of paper, bearing typed messages, saying there will be no peace until Kanu was released.
At the time of filling this report, the Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, could not be reached for confirmation.
