Suspected Armed Herdsmen Attack Agwa Community in Imo, Leave Multiple Casualties
A wave of violence has struck Agwa and neighbouring communities in Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State, as suspected armed herdsmen launched a brutal attack that claimed multiple lives and left many injured.
Among the victims is a pregnant woman identified as Joy Osita Achugwo, who sustained gunshot wounds and is currently receiving emergency treatment at a nearby medical facility.
The Chairman of Oguta LGA, Hon. Ifeanyi Nnani, paid a visit to the survivors on Tuesday and strongly condemned the attack, describing it as a horrific assault on peaceful residents in their homes and farmlands.
"The brutal murder of innocent civilians in their own communities is a tragic reminder of the growing security challenges we face," Nnani stated.
While expressing deep sympathy to the affected families, Nnani assured residents that local authorities are committed to restoring peace in the Agwa Clan and pursuing justice for the victims.
“We will not rest until those behind these atrocities are identified and held accountable,” he added.
