Community members flocked to the streets in large numbers on Wednesday to condemn the perpetrators of the community’s ongoing killings and kidnappings.
They assert that the attackers have infiltrated their neighborhood and are known for robbing owners of flashy cars and killing them.
On this regrettable situation, the state police leadership has not yet commented. The spokesperson for the state police, Micheal Abattam confirmed the incident.
According to a resident who spoke to journalists about the incident, the problem of reckless kidnapping and vehicle burning has persisted in the neighborhood since last year.
Community member’s reaction:
A local resident said, “A young man who was coming home from his marriage was killed in his village yesterday night (Tuesday) with his fiancée and the brother who was conveying them in his Keke (tricycle). This occurred at Ndiejezie Izuogu in Imo State’s Ideato LGA.”
“We complained of this reckless kidnapping, killing, and burning of vehicles in Arondizuogu last year and the police spokesman assured me that something was already being done about it.”
“But since then, the killing and kidnapping have been happening every day. No Arondizuogu residents returned for Christmas and New Year. The few that came could not move around in their cars. As we speak, there was a mass exodus of people from Arondizuogu this morning (Wednesday) after the incident of last night.”
“The hoodlums specialize in stealing flashy cars and killing their owners if they refuse to release them. Other times, cars are burnt in the process. We are no longer safe in Arondizuogu. Students are afraid of going to school; our mothers no longer go to markets for fear of the unknown. Please help us before we are finished.”
